Istine NV Vermouth Rosato
Istine NV Vermouth Rosato
Crafted in Piemonte from Sangiovese grapes shipped from Radda in Chianti, this is one stunningly complex Vermouth rose. There is delicate expression here, channeling more of a bianco more than a rosso. From lightly sweet to bitter and herbal, all 22 botanicals are in equal proportion. Istine was born from a Tuscan family of vineyard managers and developers who happen to own a few vines throughout the Classico in Chianti. When daughter Angela graduated from Oenology school, she set about bottling the family harvest herself. 2009 was the inaugural vintage with only 250 cases, but since then, Istine has been rising each vintage in rank and quality. They own 25 hectar of vines in Radda, Gaiole and Castellina, all certified organic since 2016. Winemaking follows the traditional method of long fermentations on the skins and aging in large cask. Along with the Normale, they produce several single-vineyard bottlings and this exceptional vermouth.
