Drink of the Week: Savoia Orancio

Created by Giuseppe Gallo, a veteran of the bar industry who also launched the now-ubiquitous bergamot liqueur Italicus in 2016, Savoia Orancio is an Italian vermouth made with an orange wine base. Gallo noted he was inspired by the ancient winemaking traditions of Georgia. And so the Italian white wines used to make the Orancio were left on the grape skins, contributing the amber color and richer profile. From there, the vermouth is infused with citrus including sweet and bitter oranges, lime, and bergamot, and complementary spices like ginger and saffron. The result is an aromatic but complex vermouth well suited to sipping on ice with a citrus twist, or lifted with bubbles for a wintertime spritz. $24.99, curiada.com
