Cocchi Americano Bianco

Cocchi Bianco is a classic Italian aperitif with bright citrus, gentle bitterness, and floral complexity. It’s crafted in Asti, Italy, using a base of Moscato wine. Inspired by traditional Torino aperitifs, this white version balances sweetness and bitterness in a light, refreshing profile. It’s been produced since 1891.

The Moscato wine base brings natural fruitiness, while botanicals like gentian, cinchona bark, and orange peel provide structure and depth. On the nose, expect fresh lemon, elderflower, and subtle spice. The palate opens with sweet citrus and soft herbs, finishing dry with a touch of quinine.

It’s perfect over ice with a slice of orange, or mixed with tonic, soda, or sparkling wine. You can also use it in cocktails like the Vesper or Corpse Reviver No. 2. Cocchi Americano Bianco is often compared to Kina Lillet for its similar bitter-sweet flavor. However, it offers a more aromatic and wine-driven experience.

This aperitif appeals to those who enjoy balance, finesse, and versatility in their drinks. It’s low in alcohol and full of flavor. Cocchi’s attention to craft and tradition makes this a staple for modern aperitivo culture. It’s crisp, elegant, and incredibly mixable.
