Cocchi Americano Cocchi Rosa

The Americano Cocchi is an aromatized wine, conceived by Giulio Cocchi in 1891 and since then produced continuously according to the original recipe. For its aroma given by alcohol "amaricato" with herbs and spices it is called American, also because the custom of drinking vermouth with ice and soda spread from the United States.

The Americano Cocchi produced according to the original recipe of Giulio Cocchi is, for Asti, the aperitif par excellence, a piece of the history of the city. It carries on the label the original Futurist cockerel designed in the 1930s, which represents both its function as an aperitif (“it awakens the appetite”), and one of the symbols of the city of Asti.

The classic version includes a glass with ice cubes, a splash of soda and a pink grapefruit peel. The soda can be replaced with excellent results with ginger beer, lemon soda, tonic water. In its spritz version, Cocchi Rosa is combined with Brachetto wine and pink grapefruit or lemon peel. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary. Blending with spirits such as gin, vodka and metzcal is especially happy. Cocchi Rosa is a perfect ingredient for the new strong trend of “low octane” cocktails, with a low alcohol content.
