Cocchi Americano is an aromatized wine created in 1891 by Giulio Cocchi. The name “Americano” is both due to the alcohol made bitter (“amaricato”) by the addition of herbs and spices and to the American habit of drinking vermouth with ice and soda. Cocchi Americano represents the link between wine and liquors being a wine that is infused with herbs and spices. It is best enjoyed in a cocktail; combined with spirits such as gin, vodka, and mezcal.
