New official vermouth of Bilbao 2024.

Cinzano, together with the Bilbaocentro Business Association, held the grand finale of the 9th Edition of the Bilbao 2024 ‘El Vermut de la Ciudad’ (The City’s Vermouth) route. Juan Calderón, from La Destilería, was the winner with a product that surprised the jury by perfectly representing the essence of Bilbao.

The winning vermouth, named ‘ Past and Future Bilbao’, is a unique, surprising, complex and innovative drink that mixes Cinzano rosso, Campari, Mamajuana, drops of whisky and piparras juice (hot peppers). As a pairing, they propose a pintxo of bluefin tuna gilda, pickled red onion, piparra, olive, olive oil vinaigrette, passion fruit and a little ball of melon.

This original recipe has led to it bearing the emblem of ‘Official Vermouth of Bilbao’ 2024 from now on.

Moa Lounge Bar was among the six finalists whereas Gogoa Bar, last year’s winner, won this year’s Audience Award in the social media voting.
