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.
