Between White and Red: The Rosé Solution
The importer's own positioning says it best: when a white vermouth is too sweet and a red vermouth too full-bodied, rosé vermouth is the ideal solution. The differentiator is Ruché — a native Piedmontese aromatic red grape — blended with estate Trebbiano and 20+ botanicals. It took Gold at the 2018 ISW, 92 points from the Beverage Testing Institute, and Gold at WSWA 2019. Explore the Tuve range, or browse the store's vermouth collection.
Tasting Notes
Strong aroma of floral fruit buds and ripe strawberry; soft entry with the sweetness signature of the Drapo Bianco line, expanding into Rosso-like depth with lasting cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg.
How to Enjoy
Serve chilled over ice with a strawberry or orange twist, or build a rosé Negroni — gin, bitter aperitivo, and this in place of red vermouth. Lovely in a spritz with prosecco.
