Cocchi Americano is a 16.5% ABV Italian aromatized, fortified aperitif wine created in 1891, featuring a Moscato wine base infused with botanicals like cinchona bark, citrus peel, and gentian flowers. It is crisp, citrusy, and mildly bitter, commonly used in cocktails like the Vesper Martini, often serving as a substitute for Lillet Blanc.
