Piedmont Mint in Fernet Form
Tuvè's fernet leans on one of Piedmont's proudest crops: mint from Pancalieri, a town famous for its mint farms, alongside laced gentian, bark, and roots — extracted for about ten days in a modernized process, then sweetened just enough to stay balanced. It's the bitter digestif of the Tuvè Turin Vermouth line from Preiss Imports. See the Tuvè range, or shop more cocktail bitters and fernets.
Tasting Notes
A medicinal aroma of laced gentian, bark, roots, and mint on the nose; an initial touch of sweetness and mint opening to dark roasted coffee, bitter citrus peels, and clove; a strong, persistent, bitter-mint finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks after a meal, or with cola for the classic Italian digestif long drink. In cocktails it stands in for any fernet — start with a Toronto.
