Letro

Meet the producer

The story
Letro was born as a project linked to the production of vermouth and aperitifs in Romagna; the name and products have appeared at regional events and guides about vermouth (including the Vermù festival) and are associated with the winemaking activity of Ettore Sangiorgi, who developed and presented Letro bottles in tastings. The product has been listed in Italian specialised catalogues and shops.
Production philosophy
The Letro range highlights the wine origin of vermouth (local wine base) and the use of herbal and spice infusions to create flavour openings suited to the aperitif and mixing. The approach favours territorial raw materials (for the vermouth the Famoso/Rubicone IGP grape is cited) and aromatic blends to balance sweet, floral and bitter-herbaceous notes.
Territory
Emilia-Romagna (Rubicone area and inland Romagna; sources report activities/production linked to the province of Forlì-Cesena and to production facilities in the region).
Production method
For the vermouth: aromatisation of the wine by infusion/maceration of herbs, spices, berries and roots; the Letro Vermouth F. is described as made on a white wine base (Famoso, Rubicone IGP) and then aromatised. For the bitter (Letro Bitter Beat): botanical infusions in alcohol, with cold filtration reported in commercial technical sheets.
Ageing
Bottle ageing (for the vermouth: maturation/ageing in bottle indicated in regional sheets; no wood ageing indicated).
