Clear, crimson red.

Aroma:

Gentain, quinine and thyme with strawberry/raspberry fruit and citrus zest.

Bittersweet with red berry fruitiness supported and balanced by bitter and herbal notes.

Lingering herbal bitterness

Overall:

Cordusio's red rocket-like bottle is certainly distinctive, and it has a place as a fruity alternative to other Italian red bittersweet aperitivos.
