Casa Mariol Vermut Negre (1L) alvarium thanks to the fine bubblesA fuller style of vermouth, but not heavy. It is, however, full of black cherry cola nuts, a citrus, spice, and roasted apple. Drink as apertif or go nuts and pair with poultry, pork, and an array of spicy Spanish dishes. This is from Catalunya, Terra Alta. Based on Macabeo, 100 year old Solera, made with sun dried green walnuts and 150 local herbs. Traditionally drunk in the afternoon with seltzer, an orange slice, and an olive.
