The Story

“I love some particularly rich, dark, rooty-barky vermouths on their own or with soda,” said Rosie Schaap, a writer and bartender who until recently wrote a cocktail column for The New York Times Magazine. “But they’re too assertive to get involved in, say, a manhattan.” For one of her favorite assertive vermouths, the Primitivo Quiles Rojo from Spain, she created a light, fresh cocktail with grapefruit juice, tonic and bitters." - New York Times

Their wines are highly valued treasures in wine cellars all over Europe and a source of pride for the winemaking industry in Alicante.

The Cono 4 is a joven style made in large cono foudres, and represents a great expression of the warm Alicante climate yet also very earthy and complex: it's also one of the best deals in our book!
