A particular passion project of ours—Americano is a Northern Italian style of vermouth that’s essentially Campari and sweet vermouth in one…a negroni-like cocktail in a bottle. Unlike mass-produced aperitifs full of additives with little if any connection to the fruit involved, we very much so view our Americano like a wine where there will be natural variation year to year as we work with different base wines & spirits, and adjust botanical blends to fit the direction of the vintage. As with all of our products, the local ingredients are the focus. We use over 30 botanicals, many of which are native, and work with Curio Spice to source as much as possible beyond that. We use raw local honey instead of sugar and caramel coloring, and the spirits used to fortify the Americano are distilled from winemaking leftovers by Beaver Pond in Central Mass.
