Vermouth is perhaps the best known among this class of wine. <em>China<\/em> (cinchona bark or quinine) with its beloved bitter bite is often used in vini aromatizzati, and is the final note in this wine.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The first time I tasted Cocchi Americano Rosa I was intrigued by notes of spicy rose petals along with the distinct taste of pink grapefruit; I knew I had found my new summer drink. Mix it with pink or ruby red grapefruit juice over cracked ice for a refreshing afternoon tipple.  Serve this at your next brunch gathering, and the Bloody Mary will be a thing of the past.
