Rosso Antico is a masterful blend of select white wines and 33 botanicals. To preserve their aromatic characteristics, the botanicals are stored whole until production. They are then processed using the classic extraction methods of blending and boiling. Three species of Wormwood - Absinthium, Pontica and Vulgaris - endow the liquid with its characteristic personality and balanced level of pleasant bitterness. The most distinct element of the Rosso Antico aroma is the Ireos Florentina, one of the finest varieties of Iris, which gives the vermouth its signature floral notes. In line with the traditional recipe, the Iris undergoes an artisanal process to conserve and enhance its properties and aromatic ingredients. The secret behind the formula of Rosso Antico lies not only in the masterful blending of the ingredients, but the close attention to detail paid throughout the entire production process.
