Hotel Starlino Arancione Aperitivo

"Crafted with Italian Trebbiano wine and a zesty citrus forward blend of botanicals including Italian pink grapefruit, orange peel, lemon peel, and elderflower." —winemaker

"Starlino is made from Marsala and Trebbiano wine combined with Wormwood (the key ingredient to Vermouth), Raisins, Vanilla pods, Ginger, Bitter Orange and Cloves. After producing the vermouth, we age Starlino Rosso in Kentucky Bourbon Barrels for 3-6 months. This ageing gives the Vermouth a rich, warm, spicy aroma and flavor. Starlino Rosso is delicious on its own, with soda or in a cocktail such as a Negroni or a Manhattan." —winemaker

"Displays early botanical scents of orange peel, fresh (not dried) coriander, red cherry, pekoe tea, and cucumber. Palate entry is sweet at first then it quickly turns mildly bitter and botanical; by midpalate, there's a slight sweetness of tangerine/mandarin peel. Aftertaste is moderately bittersweet and citrusy." —producer
