The name ‘Dopo Teatro’ refers to the late-evening, “after theater” service at restaurants and cafes in Torino, a gathering time for a sip of something bittersweet and maybe a small bite to eat. This “vermouth amaro” (vermouth with additional bitter elements) starts with the Moscato-based Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino, to which winemaker Giulio Bava adds robust Nebbiolo wine, local gentian, rhubarb root, chiretta and quinine. The result is a robust amaro that retains the refreshing acidity of the original vermouth. Ideal for cask strength or peated whiskeys as well as mezcal or gin, or pairing with spicy salami or intense chocolate preparations.

In a high alpine meadow, or ‘Alpeggio,’ a magical aroma arises as the sun slowly dries the native plants and flowers that comprise wild mountain valley hay. Capturing this essence in a liqueur is a tradition that extends from Italy’s Dolomites, though the Austrian Alps, into Bavaria. Select alpine meadow hay botanicals within deliver fine grassy and floral aromas, also giving notes of green tea, chocolate, honey, and a hint of cinnamon. In cocktails, Alpeggio offers an expressive take on classics like the Vieux Carré or Poet’s Dream, adding a brighter, more aromatic profile. Enjoy neat, with soda or tonic, or mix with gin, white rum, rye whiskey, or alongside beer.
