Suze, Apertif, France, 750mL Syrah with wide elegant leaves (“pencas”)Suze is an intense and delightfully aromatic bitter aperitif derived from fresh gentian root. Spice and citrus flavors complement its herbaceousness almost reminiscent of a dandelion green salad. You can use it as a decidedly less red (and less sweet) substitute for Campari in a variety of cocktails.
