Way better than the ubiquitous aperol spritz or whatever other mediocre stuff most bars use these days, especially if you make it with vermouth amaro
This is the proof that martini can and does manufacture a proper vermouth, this is on par with your classic vermouth choices like carpano or dolin, definitely a formidable choice if you can’t find the other two.
Burst of orange with a hint of fennel/aniseed on the nose, little bit of gentian, hint of chocolate too. Super orangey on the palate with a pleasant, lingering bitterness and coffee aftertaste. That’s some good stuff!
While it’s might be a tad too sweet for me (at least subjectively, even though Strega 900 was almost syrupy-like, Select detects as being sweeter) it’s got a surprisingly intriguing floral character, unlike any other aperitif I’ve had before. Makes me wanna see if it would behave well in an Old pal formula
