Giulio Cocchi was a Florentine pastry chef before he reinvented himself as a winemaker in Asti, Piedmont, founding his aromatized wine house in 1891. The Bava family, who've owned Cocchi since 1978, still follow his original recipes today, and the lineup reads like a checklist of essential bartending history. Vermouth di Torino, one of only two vermouths in the world with protected geographic status, was discontinued in the 1980s before Roberto Bava revived it from historical records in 2011, sparking much of the modern craft vermouth revival in the process. Dopo Teatro pushes that same base further into bitter, amaro territory. Barolo Chinato takes a different path entirely, built on real Barolo DOCG wine rather than the lighter Moscato used elsewhere in the range. And the Americano Bianco remains the closest thing left to the long-discontinued Kina Lillet, making it the true ingredient behind James Bond's Vesper Martini, alongside its fruitier, rosé-colored sibling. Every bottle in the collection still traces back to Giulio's 19th-century formulas, aged and blended the same deliberate way for well over a century.
