Thirsty Thursday - Antica Torino & Chocolates

Stellare

This wine-based aperitivo produced in Northern Italy is rich with botanicals macerated in Italian wheat spirit and brandy distilled from wines of the region. Gentian, rhubarb root, citrus peel, orris root and heartsease. The infused spirit is combined with a blend of white wines, a hint of beet sugar, and colored with all-natural cochineal dye

Bitter Bianco

Antica Torino Bitter Bianco is a brilliantly translucent bitter bianco and aperitivo. Bright citrus aromas and fresh herbs are followed by vivid flavors of zests, resins and flowers.
