Overall impression

Vermut Florido is the vermouth from Bodegas César Florido in Chipiona (Cádiz), one of the oldest wineries in the Marco de Jerez —viticultural tradition since the 18th century, fifth family generation and speciality in moscateles, finos, amontillados and olorosos according to bodegasflorido.com. According to the Bodegabierta sheet, it combines a base of generous wines —structured finos, dry olorosos with walnut notes and sweet aromatic moscateles— aged in old oloroso butts for five to eight years before maceration with botanicals: wormwood, gentian, citrus, clove and cinnamon, among others. Intense mahogany colour with deep reddish glints; Andalusian aperitif profile with Jerez depth, unctuousness and sweet-bitter balance. 15% vol., 75 cl. For Vermutpedia, Florido documents historic Chipiona vermouth: Palomino and Moscatel in butts, classic botanics and Atlantic generous character —soleras metres from the ocean— verifiable at bodegasflorido.com and specialist retailers.
