In the Glass
Appearance
Brilliant, crystal clear.
Aromatics
The nose is very aromatic offering scents of ripe fruits including lychee, peach, apricot, and golden melon supported by dried herbs, orange peel, anise, and vanilla.
Flavor
The palate echoes the nose delivering more dense fruit with a rising spice and herbal vein offering length, balance, and intrigue.
Intensity & Texture
Medium-bodied with layers of fruit, herb, and spice with just enough tart fruit and citrus notes to keep it balanced inviting the next sip.
Cool Factor
One of the greatest developments in this spirits renaissance is the reemergence of classic brands that were once boxed into niche applications that are now open to a new, adventurous audience.
Value Grade
At $35 this unique and complex liquor will find an eager fan base.
Analysis
The base spirit is primarily made with organic winter wheat with a small portion of Nebbiolo grappa. The clear spirit is infused with a complex blend of herbs, botanicals, and spices including licorice, vanilla, bitter orange, ginseng, and rhubarb. This special family recipe was first recorded by Ferdinando Martini in Torino in 1932. Dimmi is prime for a comeback in today's market where it is not required to put a spirit into a delimited category rather allowing a product to stand on its own.
How to Enjoy
The applications are broad and varying as it's a great aperitif when chilled and equally good after a meal. There is a rising interest in utilizing the unique flavors in cocktails as well.
