The herbs from the mountains of Trentino, such as the sweet-scented bedstraw, peppermint, and gentian, create a high quality product and confer a rare elegance of taste. Try it in any amaro-requiring cocktails, such as a Hanky Panky:
Add gin, vermouth, and Trentino to a mixing glass with ice, and stir until well-chilled. At this point, you can add a teaspoon of orange juice, if you feel you need to add a touch more sweetness, to your liking. Strain into a pre-chilled cocktail glass, and garnish with an orange twist.
This is a lovely drop of Merlot, demonstrating the wine skills of the Languedoc Roussillon area. I holidayed in the region some years ago and loved their wines - great to see them this side of the world and available. Versatile, easy drinking. So good my neighbour has also bought a case after tasting mine!
As an aperitif or companion to a variety of fish, white meat or vegetarian meals including milder curries or salads, this rose works well. It is both fruity (melon, berry notes) to start and slightly acidic at the finish. It is simply pleasurable drinking at a reasonable price and has become something of a personal favourite.
