Cocchi likes to refer to their products as aromatized wine. I guess it makes it easier for consumers to understand than referring to them as Vermouth or Amaro. The mixology crowd is always on the hunt for interesting Amari and Vermouth and this combines the two!
Dopo Teatro is a Vermouth Amaro. The original recipe of Giulio Cocchi is used for Dopo Teatro with Artemisia, Rabarbaro, China
Calissaia and Legno di 
Quassio and a double infusion ofcinchora. What makes this product very unique from the rest of the Amari out there is the addition of Barolo Chinato to the base wine. Barolo Chinato is made by adding a maceration of herbs and spices to a Barolo wine. Just like an Deus ExMachinaVermouth drinkers will love the complexity of Dopo Teatro, sweet enough to be consumed on its own but it

the Barolo Chinato provides a divine intervention to make this Vermouth Amaro far from ordinary.
