The use of various hemp ingredients in Italian low-alcohol beverage recipes can be a useful national producer of alcoholic / low-alcoholic / nonalcoholic products, which are carefully looking at this market, and some are already experimenting with the possibility of using hemp raw materials to create new products with therapeutic properties.
On the pages of the specialized electronic publication of Ukrainian cannabis, more than once the question has been raised about the use of various hemp ingredients for the preparation of alcoholic / low-alcoholic / non-alcoholic beverages in economically developed countries of the world. Taking into account the interest that national producers of beer and alcoholic beverage products show to this topic, it is necessary to focus the attention of our dear readers on Italian developments in this area of modern hemp breeding, in particular, the creation of hemp vermouth Hempatico.
In April, Hempatico, the first vermouth made using hemp ingredients, was introduced to the Italian market, which is considered the birthplace of sweet vermouths. Consumers highly appreciated this winemaking product, the taste of which remained the same as that of traditional Turin wines, and the herbal notes of cannabis greatly enhanced the taste and olfactory characteristics, thanks to which the vermouth “Hempatico” acquired an unprecedented flavor, providing the opportunity to call it an innovative product that retains strong shades of famous brands. Even the typical straw yellow color of the wine “Erbaluce” (component of the drink) was not lost, but was additionally enriched with pleasant green notes of hemp. According to the developed sales strategy, Hempatico is positioned as the world's first hemp vermouth, made from vintage wines. The “Hempatico” recipe is the result of in-depth research and the work of highly skilled specialists, carried out thanks to the productive cooperation between experts in the field of industrial hemp breeding, farmers, and leading bartenders with many years of experience in creating new cocktails.
