Mentorino, the iconic Turinese peppermint liqueur, was first produced a few years ago from an idea of Sergio Latorre and Cristina Badone. Made with one of the best-known and popualr local aromatic herbs, it comes in a distinctive bottle, made in the shape of the Mole Antonelliana, the tower that is Turin’s main landmark, though it is also available in traditional bottles. The distillery’s other flagship liqueur is Trentatre, a digestif made with a very limited amount of sugar which owes its exquisite aroma to the infusion of aromatic herbs from which it is produced.
At the enoteca in Via Garessio, you’ll also find a vast range of high-quality unbottled wines, popular with the public for economic and sustainability reasons. Most of the bottled wines are selected from small producers. Also on offer, a small selection of food specialties, which becomes particularly interesting as Christmas approaches. Besides being on sale in the enoteca, Mentorino and Trentatre are also available at the numerous specialized markets in Turin in which Serale takes part periodically.
Closed on Sunday.
