Overall impression

Vermouth Alfonsina Speziato is Alfonsina's dry spiced reference (Persano siblings, Paraje Altamira, Uco Valley): vermouth on Cabernet Franc with main herbs wormwood, fennel, pepper and thyme, per the official sheet. House and press describe it as the most herbaceous and dry of the range — Lara Persano's favourite — with a contemporary echo of Torinese recipe. Low intervention; fresh-herb sediment at the bottle bottom. 16% vol., 75 cl. Counterpart to fruity Floreale and citrus Rosé. For Vermutpedia, it is Altamira's dry Cabernet Franc in the Argentine low-intervention catalogue.

Nose and palate

Pending evaluation. Trade sources (Aldos) point to a dry palate with herbaceous and pepper notes.

How to serve it

On ice, per the house's usual recommendation; also neat in a cold glass or in Americano/Negroni seeking a dry Argentine rosso with pepper and thyme bite. Pairs with olives, cured meats and spiced picadas.
