Londinio, positioned in the heart of London, stands as a testament to the blending of old-world Italian tradition with the vibrant spirit of modern-day Britain. At a time when the global spirits market is witnessing a resurgence of traditional beverages, Londinio has chosen to delve deep into the realms of vermouths and Amari, historically rooted in Italian culture.
Vermouths, originally medicinal tonics infused with botanicals, have been an integral part of Italian aperitivo culture for centuries. Londinio's vermouths pay homage to this tradition, yet they bring a distinctly British twist. Using English wines as the base and integrating herbs, roots, and botanicals, they create vermouths that harmonise the bitterness of classic Italian recipes with the nuanced tastes of English terroir.
But it's not just vermouths where Londinio shines. Their exploration into the world of Amari, those characteristically bitter and aromatic Italian liqueurs, has yielded some intriguing results. Amari, traditionally consumed as a post-meal digestif, are complex concoctions made by infusing spirits with a blend of botanicals. Londinio's take on Amari represents a melding of the traditional Italian recipes with innovative ingredients, reflecting both respect for the classic and an urge to redefine.
In essence, Londinio, while deeply respectful of Italian vermouth and Amaro traditions, offers a range that is undeniably influenced by its London surroundings. It's a celebration of two rich cultures, poured into a bottle, ready to be savoured by those who appreciate the craft and history behind these iconic drinks.
