Manuel puts the beauty of this vermouth down to beginners luck, but we are not so sure. Using an ancient Tuscan recipe, he blended his own Banyuls with Mediterranean herbs that grow amongst the vines. A vermouth of terroir this is completely unique and with some ice and a slice of orange, makes for an otherworldly aperitif.
Manuel de Vecchi Starez is a native of Tuscany who around a decade ago moved to France to farm some extremely low-yielding old bush vines in the hills above Banyuls-sur-Mer. He’s an uncompromising man and his wines are deep expressions of this rugged terrain.
