About this bottle
Baldoria comes from Ernest Spirits in Boves, in Piedmont near the Alps, set up in 2019 by Dotan Shalev and Daniel Schmidt with distillers Enrico Giordana and Piero Nuvolini. The aim was a vermouth good enough to drink on its own, not just a cocktail modifier. Botanicals they do not grow are gathered wild in the Alpine foothills.
