This Veso Aperitif is really tasty. It’s fruity but not overly so. It’s sweet but not overwhelmingly so.
What is Veso?
Veso is a romantic, all-natural aperitif that has a luxurious taste and can be enjoyed neat, or mixed with a favorite bubbly. The seductive Vanilla Nightfall and Strawberry Solstice flavors are sure to spice up dinner plans in the comfort of one’s own home.
Veso launched in San Francisco last October with the debut of two craft aperitifs: Vanilla Nightfall and Strawberry Solstice.
These low-proof (18%) aperitifs are made with natural, vegan, locally sourced ingredients – and are proud to list these on their label. Veso infuses whole fruit and spices from farms and suppliers all over California into California-made white wine, resulting in an aperitif bursting with flavor.
Purchasing VESO!
Veso Aperitif is currently available for purchase in California, New York, Florida, Oregon, and Washington D.C. at $35 a bottle/750ml plus shipping, or $70 for two bottles with free shipping via www.drinkveso.com.
