Cappelletti Negroni Insorti
Cappelletti Negroni Insorti is a ready-to-drink Negroni built as a single construction from raw ingredients by Antica Erboristeria Cappelletti in Aldeno, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy — a wine-based aperitivo (not an amaro) with citrus peels, gentian, wormwood, and juniper, bottled at 17% ABV (750mL). At well under a classic Negroni's strength, it's the familiar bitter-citrus profile in a lower-alcohol, vegan-friendly package with naturally derived color.

A Negroni, Built in One Bottle
Cappelletti has spent over a century in the Trentino working with the herbs, roots, and flowers of the Dolomites. Negroni Insorti takes that palette — bitter gentian, wormwood, juniper, citrus peel — and builds the Negroni in a single construction from the raw ingredients rather than blending three finished bottles. The result is as familiar as it is unexpected: the bitter-citrus architecture you know, at a gentler proof. See more from Cappelletti or browse aperitifs and wine.
Tasting Notes
Bitter citrus and gentian up front with juniper lift; wormwood and citrus peel through the middle; a clean, gently bitter finish — the classic Negroni architecture at lower alcohol (per the importer).
How to Enjoy
Pour over a large ice cube with an orange twist — no mixing required. For a longer drink, top with soda; for the full-strength experience, use it as the bitter base and add gin to taste.
