BCN 'Ambre' Mediterranean Dry Vermut, Priorat, Spain

An elegant tribute to the Mediterranean spirit, BCN Vermut distills the essence of Priorat’s rugged slate mountains into a refined and deeply aromatic aperitif. Crafted from native Cariñena and Garnacha wine lees, this vermouth is infused with a carefully selected blend of botanicals—including clove, angelica, cinnamon, wormwood, juniper berries, rosemary, elderflower, and bitter orange peel—that bloom in the wild Catalonian landscape. Dry yet complex, with layers of bergamot, wild herbs, and citrus zest, BCN Vermut is a true expression of Barcelona’s dynamic culture and artisanal heritage. Whether sipped on the rocks with a twist of lemon and an olive or used to elevate a classic Negroni, this vermouth delivers a seamless balance of weighty florals, delicate sweetness, and a lingering bitter finish.
