Brooklyn, New York, USA. Natural. NEW VINTAGE! MITHRADATES is a vino amaro made with red wine from NY's Finger Lakes region and aromatized with 34 unique botanicals. The grapes (Frontenac), harvested in 2022, were vinified and then fortified with various herbal extractions before resting in used bourbon casks and steel tanks. This vino amaro is in Forthave Spirits’ historical line, where ancient medicinal recipes are reinterpreted as digestivi. With a deep ruby color reminiscent of a port, this fortified and aromatized wine-based amaro balances sweetness, bitterness, and spice. The addition of herbs, citrus and other botanicals gives a warming sensation that mixes with the vinous notes of dried, sweet fruit. The bitterness from chincona bark compliments the fine tannins and adds depth and complexity. It is at once earthy and fruity with notes of figs, cedar, and mace. This vino amaro can be enjoyed neat, over ice with tonic, or in the place of red vermouth in cocktails.
