Chinati Vergano Vermouth (white)

Chinati Vergano's white vermouth, known as Vermouth Bianco or "BVB," is crafted by Mauro Vergano in Asti, Piedmont. This artisanal aperitif begins with a base of Cortese and Moscato wines sourced from esteemed local producers. Cortese contributes brightness and acidity, while Moscato adds aromatic richness. ​

The infusion includes wormwood (the defining ingredient of vermouth), citrus peels, and a blend of herbs such as thyme, marjoram, basil, and oregano. Additional botanicals like cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, coriander, bay, ginseng, and rhubarb impart warmth and complexity. The result is a clear, light yellow vermouth with a sweet-bitter profile and a pronounced herbal fragrance. 

Mauro Vergano, a former chemist specializing in flavors and fragrances, applies his expertise to create balanced and nuanced aromatized wines. His Vermouth Bianco is recommended to be served over ice with a twist of lemon, offering a refreshing and complex aperitif experience.
