Roots Divino Bianco is a non-alcoholic white vermouth made in Greece, and one of the rare non-alcoholic vermouths that actually begins with wine. The wine is infused and macerated with Mediterranean botanicals, including wormwood, rosemary, thyme and other Greek herbs, then dealcoholized using reverse osmosis. That wine base gives it more body and structure than many botanical aperitifs.
Fresh lemon leads, followed by rosemary and thyme, with wormwood providing that essential vermouth bitterness. It's bright, herbal and savory with a pleasantly tart edge rather than much sweetness. Think Mediterranean garden rather than floral aperitif. Roots Divino Bianco was also named Best in Show Non-Alcoholic Spirit at the 2024 Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America competition.
Why We Love It
The wine base makes a difference here. Roots Divino Bianco has enough body and botanical complexity to behave like vermouth in a cocktail, rather than simply adding another layer of flavor. We love its savory side, especially the rosemary and thyme, and that crisp lemony finish keeps everything fresh.
How to Drink Roots Divino Bianco
For an easy serve, pour Roots Divino Bianco over plenty of ice with tonic and finish with a lemon slice. For something drier and more savory, try it with sparkling water, a splash of olive brine and an olive.
