Cocchi Americano is an aromatized wine created in 1891 by Giulio Cocchi and since then produced without interruption according to the original recipe.
The name āAmericanoā is both due to the alcohol made bitter (āamaricatoā) by the addition of herbs and spices and to the American habit of drinking vermouth with ice and soda.
Produced according to Giulio Cocchi original recipe, Cocchi Americano is recognized in Asti as the aperitif par excellence ā a real piece of history of our town.
On its label the original futurist rooster designed in the 30ās and representing his aperitif function (āit awakes the appetiteā) as well as one of the symbols of the town of Asti.
