A vermouth that is made in a Navarrese town of 800 inhabitants has just been recognized as the best in the world by Catavinum World
The particular thing about this red vermouth is that it is made with white Chardonnay grapes. A combination that, like the best stories, perfectly fuses sweet with a bitter touch. Each 700 ml bottle “is the result of careful maceration and prolonged aging for eight months in the most select French oak barrels.” With a mixture of 33 aromatic herbs and spices, it displays a range of notes ranging from walnuts and almonds to dried fruits and raisins. It is accompanied by nuances of gentian, verbena, cinnamon and cherry.
The flavor of Oro Nómada vermouth is due in part to a secret ingredient, jealously guarded by its creators. Antonanza is an artisanal winery located in the town of Cordovilla, Navarra, run by two generations of fathers and sons. This family business, with a history dating back to 2020, launched itself directly into the manufacture of this vermouth, and transformed it into the fruit of its work and dedication. Each bottle bears a distinctive seal and is made by hand, without the intervention of machinery and with traditional Navarra techniques.
Sweet, creamy and enveloping, according to the winemakers, “it offers a gourmet experience with a balance between sweetness and bitterness with a charming complexity.” It can be enjoyed alone or with an olive and a slice of dried orange to add “an extra touch.” The bottle costs 15 euros and can be obtained on the website.
