Hotel Starlino Rosé Aperitivo is an Italian wine-based aperitif produced by Torino Distillati in the Piedmont region. It blends Trebbiano wine with botanicals including pink grapefruit, orange peel and lemon peel. The aperitif is bottled at 17% ABV and typically retails for around $25.
Aromas and flavors of ripe, juicy watermelon, raspberry, strawberry, orange and blood orange burst onto the palate. There's a hint of vanilla and a rhubarb earthiness and tartness, with a refreshing swath of mint and other grassy herbs. If using this aperitvo for a Negroni or other bitter flavor profile cocktails, one would probably need to split it with something more bitter, but that's not necessarily a bad thing as it would lighten things up and add some fruitiness.
