Vermouth and Cocoa

Starting from two main products of the Piedmontese food and wine tradition, vermouth and cocoa, in 2016 we decided to make a bet and play on the encounter of these two worlds of taste and smell. Our travel companion in this fantastic adventure was Guido Castagna, one of the greatest Italian and international Maître Chocolatier. Furthermore, we have been supported, advised and guided by the experience of our friend Michele Marzella, Bar Manager at Affini.

The result of this unprecedented courtship was released in 2017, with the birth of our ‘L Türinèis, thanks to the addition, in the right amount and according to the right method, of roasted cocoa beans to the mixture of aromatic herbs and spices that we used for our Riserva.

By doing so, we enriched the bouquet with an extra aromatic note, able to stimulate an exotic sensory experience and, at the same time, recall the Piedmontese chocolate tradition. The cocoa beans used for our ‘L Türinèis comply with the rules of the Guido Castagna Natural Chocolate Method: fine cocoa beans, conferred by certified collectors’ cooperatives, roasted at low temperature to enhance their organoleptic characteristics.

Drink it smooth, fresh but not frozen, pair it to dry pastries or an excellent dark chocolate: the bouquet of hints that gently emanates from the glass, the roundness that envelops the palate and its delicate persistence will captivate you like a cuddle.
