Nose: On the nose, the Phony Negroni captivates with its rich bouquet of aromas. It leads with notes of bitter orange peel, juniper berries, and a mix of aromatic herbs. Subtle undertones of red fruits and a hint of anise add depth to the aroma profile.
Palate: On the palate, the Phony Negroni harmoniously blends the bitter and sweet elements inherent in its alcoholic counterpart. The robust bitterness mirrors the original Negroni's profile, well-balanced with a moderate sweetness. Mid-palate, the flavor profile evolves, revealing subtle notes of red fruits and a touch of vanilla.
Finish: The finish is satisfying and lingering, with the sweetness and bitterness slowly receding, leaving a complex aftertaste. The persistent flavors of juniper, orange peel, and herbs fade slowly, leaving a fresh, spicy note behind.
The St. Agrestis Phony Negroni can be enjoyed straight from the bottle over ice, garnished with an orange slice or twist for an authentic touch. It pairs well with a variety of dishes due to its balance of bitter and sweet.
Consider pairing it with hearty dishes like steak or pasta with a robust red sauce to counterbalance its intensity. For lighter pairings, consider salty appetizers like olives or salted nuts, which contrast beautifully with its bittersweet profile. Experience the sophistication of a classic cocktail without the alcohol with the St. Agrestis Phony Negroni.
