RAS Wines A7 Americano is a complex, full-bodied aromatized wine produced in the traditional manner by infusing a harmonious blend of organic herbs, spices, and fruits in organic Maine wild blueberry wine and fortifying with brandy.

Tasting Notes: RAS A7 Americano strikes a nice balance of bitter, sweet, floral, and herbaceous elements, neither bone-dry nor noticeably sweet. Of course it’s a great mixer (spritz, Negroni, Manhattan, Sbagliato, plenty of others), but at just 12% alcohol it is balanced and delicious just on the rocks. It plays very well with all sorts of foods. Once opened, A7 Americano keeps well in the fridge for weeks.

Process: The base wine for RAS A7 Americano is the same as for the RAS Arkadia, a wild-fermented, unadulterated wine from 100% organically grown Maine wild blueberries. A 7-ingredient brandy-infused combination of organic herbs, spices, fruits, and a touch of honey are added to this base wine.

Inspiration: "We have adored and explored and drunk aromatized wines for a long time, holding a special place in our hearts for Northern Italian and Spanish vermouths and the cultures from which they sprung. When we set out to make our own aromatized wine, we wanted to join these two traditions, guided by an emphasis on high quality ingredients and moderate alcohol. Technically, for vermouths the bittering agent is either wormwood or mugwort, while wines like A7 Americano that are bittered (‘amaricato’ in Italian) with gentian are called Americano." - RAS Team
