Hippocratic spiced wine

Still today, as in the past, our Ippocrasso vie- ne is made by adding to the red wine produced by our winery, raw sugar, “muscovado” sugar, and some spices such as cinnamon, cloves, ginger. The production of this drink is done by selecting from our barrels the red wines that are best suited for infusion. Hippocras presents an intense and enveloping flavor that can accompany strong or spicy flavored foods, cheeses, dolci, candied fruit, and chocolate. Excellent as a digestive drink hot, or chilled with a few ice cubes.

Ingredients: Red Wine, Spices, Honey, Cane Sugar.
Notes: No coloring or conservatives.

Hippocrasis is an alcoholic beverage made from the infusion of numerous spices with a well-structured red wine. Etymology suggests its legendary creation at the hands of Hippocrates in the 5th century B.C. It was indeed a great physician who allowed the flowers of dictam and mugwort to macerate in the strong, sugar-rich Greek wine. In the Middle Ages it was enriched with new scents and flavors thanks to the trade of oriental spices brought by the Venetians.
