Review and Tasting

Sampled on 21/06/2015

Appearance

Clear, rose red.

Aroma

Quinine, gentian and herbaceous notes with cherry, raspberry, grapefruit and vanilla shortcake. Faint note of hairspray.

Taste

Bittersweet and lightly syrupy. Herbaceous gentian bitterness, zesty orange and grapefruit are balanced by red berry fruit and honey sweetness.

Aftertaste

Red berry fruit with long lingering gentian and quinine bitterness.

Overall

Sweeter and fruitier than Campari, punchier and drier than Aperol. Gancia Americano balances honeyed red berry fruit with herbaceous gentian bitterness and zesty citrus.
