At its core is a single-vineyard Barbaresco from the 2021 vintage, complemented by a portion of Roero Arneis—bringing both structure and aromatic lift. The identity is unmistakably regional, with botanicals and herbs sourced locally, reinforcing a strong sense of place and tradition. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"1020\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"557\"\u003eWinemaking \u0026amp; Technical Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"557\" data-end=\"560\"\u003e“BB21” (Barbaresco Base 2021) is a limited-production, vintage vermouth crafted from high-quality wine rather than neutral base. Around 30 botanicals are cold-macerated for several weeks before being blended with the Barbaresco and Arneis, then rested in stainless steel. The philosophy is distinctly wine-first: the Nebbiolo structure remains central, with botanicals acting as a frame rather than the dominant element. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1022\" data-end=\"1499\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1022\" data-end=\"1039\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1039\" data-end=\"1042\"\u003eDeep, complex, and highly vinous, this vermouth opens with aromas of orange peel, spice, ginger, and cinnamon, layered with subtle vanilla and herbal tones. The palate is strikingly wine-driven, showing red fruit, tannin, and persistent spice from the Barbaresco base. Notes of bitter orange, gentian, and delicate licorice emerge, leading to a long, harmonious finish that balances sweetness with refined bitterness. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1501\" data-end=\"1879\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1501\" data-end=\"1527\"\u003eFood Pairing \u0026amp; Service\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1530\"\u003eFar more than a mixing vermouth, “BB21” is best enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or digestif. Serve lightly chilled with a single ice cube to highlight its depth and aromatic complexity. It also pairs well with charcuterie, aged cheeses, and savory appetizers where its structure and herbal nuance can shine. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1881\" data-end=\"2166\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1881\" data-end=\"1904\"\u003eCellaring Potential\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"1907\"\u003eUnusual for vermouth, this wine-based expression has the structure to evolve over several years. While enjoyable upon release, it can develop additional integration and complexity with short- to mid-term aging, particularly when stored properly after opening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elena Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46104376410308,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/8635\/9236\/files\/ElenaPennaVermouthDiTorinoRossoSuperioreBB211L.jpg?v=1777824072","url":"https:\/\/www.prismfinewine.com\/products\/elena-penna-vermouth-di-torino-rosso-superiore-bb21-1l","provider":"Prism Fine Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
