Premium Aged Bordiga Excelsior Vermouth Riserva – Cocktail Ready

Crafted with meticulous care by Bordiga, this premium red vermouth offers a sophisticated blend of tradition and innovation for discerning cocktail enthusiasts and wine lovers alike. At its core lies 35% of Italy’s renowned Barolo wine, sourced locally to ensure authenticity and depth. The base is aged for 18 months in oak barrels before being thoughtfully combined with Cortese and Moscato wines, creating a harmonious foundation for over 30 meticulously selected botanicals—each individually infused or distilled—to shine through. Enhanced with beet sugar and water, this vermouth undergoes additional oak barrel maturation, resulting in a layered flavor profile that stands out among other Italian vermouths.

With an 18% alcohol content, Bordiga Vermouth delivers a bold yet balanced drinking experience. Its rich texture and weighty mouthfeel are complemented by subtle tannins from the extended aging process, while dried fruit notes like figs and dates intertwine with warm spice undertones of cinnamon and clove. This complexity makes it an ideal choice for crafting artisanal cocktails such as Negronis or Manhattans, elevating their flavors with its nuanced character. Alternatively, savor it neat as an aperitif to enjoy its expressive depth.

Designed for those seeking premium quality in their mixology or wine collection, Bordiga Vermouth distinguishes itself through its emphasis on local ingredients and extended aging—a rarity in many mass-produced vermouths. Its versatility caters to both home bartenders aiming to impress and casual drinkers looking for a sophisticated sipper.

Currently available exclusively within California for purchase and shipping via BottleBarn.com, this limited-geographic offering ensures you’re getting a handcrafted product that reflects Bordiga’s commitment to excellence. Whether you’re exploring Italian-inspired beverages or searching for a standout vermouth to enhance your cocktail creations, this bottling delivers unparalleled richness and complexity in every glass.
