Description:

The wine-making origins of the Padró family date back to the year 1886 and to the village of Bràfim (Tarragona), which was, at the time a busy agricultural hub with around 400 inhabitants.
The Padró family are one of the big local vermouth producers but are less known abroad than some of the others. Building the company producing premium quality bulk wine they know put there name to there very own premium vermouth brand Padró & Co!

Wine making: 

This vermouth is started off with an initial infusion consisting only of mountain herbs noted for their small roots and very aromatic flowers. The vermouth then absorbs these aromas whilst resting for the next two years in wooden barrels. Following the aging process, a second herb formula is added, a blend of plant bark and roots found in our area and which increase the intensity of the flavours and give the vermouth its bitter essence.

Rojo Amargo comes with premium packaging in a smart cylindrical format with embossed copper-coloured lettering. If UV light falls onto the bottle at any time, its fluorescent colours reveal a hidden side!

Tasting notes:

Zesty sensations of ripe orange peel on the nose with a subtle blend of cinnamon spices. Balsamic notes of cloves and also dried fruits such as dried apricots. Very smooth and full-bodied in the mouth, fresh orange memories followed by a pleasant bitterness reminiscent of tobacco, cinchona bark and honeyed caramel.

Serving and Pairing:

Enjoy with tapas and snacks.

Served at 8-9 ºC.
