Vermouth La Pivon Rojo

La Pivón is a Spanish vermouth crafted traditionally in Madrid with maceration of locally sourced herbs and botanicals in oak barrels, with oranges from Valencia. Flavors and aromatics are herbaceous, balanced and versatile. Ocher in color with slight orange tones, herbs develop strong on the palate with cinnamon, cardamom and clove. French oak influences the lengthy, balanced vanilla finish. BOTANICALS Cardamom, Wormwood, Cinnamon, Clove, Orange Peel, Lemon Peel, Gentian PRODUCTION Fashioned by the only vermouth producer in Madrid, the base starts with a premium mixture of both Airén and Malvar wine grapes. The herbal portion of the vermouth starts with a “Mother” from a previous batch. Generally 30%-70% is retained from each batch for the next process in barrel. A proprietary mixture of local herbs and flavors are added so the blend can sit for a full day. The liquid is then filtered and bottled, allowing the whole process to take just a few days.
