Berbere

Berbere starts with a Metodo Perpetuo wine made from Inzolia, Zibibbo, Grillo, and Catarratto, aged in Marsala cask. The first harvest was in 2003, and the winemaker is Vincenzo Angileri of Viteadovest in Marsala, Sicilia. Enoliti Botanici then adds cinnamon bark, clove, ginger, licorice, lemon peel, and rosemary.

Tonic and restorative is the note, and that is exactly how to treat it. Not a normal aperitivo. More of a small glass when you want something bitter, herbal, and alive.
