Distillation and production
Production method
According to technical sheets and commercial descriptions, the product is obtained by fortifying wines (including Moscato) and by infusion/extraction of botanicals; a distillate/extract of roasted coffee is added to the extract and the blend is left to rest in stainless‑steel tanks before bottling.
Distillation
A steam‑distilled coffee distillate is used for the coffee extract; the remainder of the process involves botanical infusion in wine and blending with the coffee distillate.
Ageing
Resting of the assembled vermouth in stainless‑steel tanks for about 6 weeks before bottling.
Producer history Sospeso
The product Vermut Sospeso was developed and launched as part of the activities of Bespoke Distillery, a mixology creative studio based in Mercato San Severino (SA). The range was introduced to trade channels and distributors from the late 2010s, with editorial mentions and listings in specialist distributor catalogs.
Production philosophy
It combines the tradition of Italian vermouth (blending and aromatization of fortified wines) with the theme of Italian‑style coffee: the idea is to enhance the meeting between the coffee ritual and the aperitif, achieving a recognizable aromatic profile suitable for both tasting and mixology.
Territory
Mercato San Severino (Salerno), Campania, Italy (Bespoke Distillery). Some distributors report the commercial origin of the batch differently; the producer indicated in sources is Bespoke Distillery, based in Campania.
