Conceito Porto Vintage 2016

A real vermouth . Intense and exuberant aroma, fresh sea scent, notes of citrus fruits and spices that combine an exotic lightness. Very dense and profound on the palate, with a perfect balance between clear sweetness, refreshing acidity, finely tart notes and a long finish.

Inspired by the voyages of Portuguese seafarers and explorers and their search for new countries and exotic plants, the "7 Mares" vermouth was created: a strictly curated mixture of white wine, brandy, 32 selected spices such as star anise, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and much more. aromatic herbs such as lemon grass, water mint, lemon verbena and much more, dried flowers, natural fruit extracts and essential fruit oils such as lemon oil, bergamot and much more. The result can be seen, smelled and tasted and presents itself in a beautiful amber yellow.

Enjoy this vermouth neat, on the rocks or mix it into your favorite cocktails!
