Vermouth Alfonsina Tropicale

Alfonsina

Altamira , Argentina

Overall impression

Vermouth Alfonsina Tropicale is the experimental novelty of the range: dry vermouth on Semillon and Chardonnay orange wine, with main herbs wormwood, coconut, cardamom and allspice, per the official sheet. Lara Persano presents it as a space for experimentation — botanicals uncommon in vermouth, aside from wormwood. Completes the quartet with Floreale, Speziato and Rosé. Low intervention; herb sediment in bottle. 16% vol., 75 cl (shop price slightly above the rest of the range). For Vermutpedia, it documents Alfonsina's Mendoza orange-wine vermouth.

Nose and palate

Pending evaluation.

How to serve it

On ice, cold; coconut–cardamom–allspice profile invites warm-climate aperitivo and light tropical soda cocktails. Pairs with gently spiced food, nuts and exotic picada. A good entry for anyone seeking orange wine in aperitif format.

Production context

Alfonsina Vermouth (Persano siblings, Paraje Altamira / La Consulta, Mendoza): house Semillon–Chardonnay orange-wine base; botanical maceration in cereal spirit and barrel integration.
