The classic Favaios is the youngest moscatel marketed by the Adega de Favaios, but it is also the one that has been produced for longest, almost since the company was founded. It is clear and bright in appearance, with an attractive golden colour. Favaios is noted for the typical aromas of the moscatel grape, which is very rich and aromatic. The aromas of the grape can be tasted, especially the...

94 pts. Wine Enthusiast The producer jokingly calls it “Bone White Boissiere,” but it's indeed bracingly dry, with mouthwatering acidity. The aroma has a faint earthiness but no sweetness to it, while the palate adds mild pear and elderflower, finishing with just a squeak of citrus. Sip with a curl of lemon peel, or substitute it for dry Sherry in food pairings or cocktails.

producer notes - Cocchi Rosa name reminds us that it’s produced with red wines, from which it derives its colour and wild rose notes. Refined with natural extracts of flowers and spices, in particular gentian, cinchona and citrus as per the Americano Bianco but with the addition of saffron, vanilla and rose petals. Its beautiful red colour is completely natural and derives from the wine.

Resurrected from a recipe first offered in 1891, this vermouth uses the Moscato grape as its base. It has an amber color with notes of orange, green grapes, rhubarb, tobacco, cola, and leather. Complex indeed. We'd recommend drinking neat or in cocktails as an alternative to sweet vermouth.
