Cocchi Americano AperitifGiulio Cocchi, the boutique winery in Asti, Italy from 1891, boasts a fine tradition in the production of classic Italian aperitifs with a wine that, for over 120 years, carries a reputation of Cocchi quality worldwide. Made to the same recipe since 1891, this Moscato based aperitif wine had long been a staple of Asti. While the Americano name implies a gentian focus, the wine also includes quinine and citrus for a flavorful, refreshing profile.
