Hotel Starlino expands range with new Elderflower Aperitivo

Hotel Starlino expands range with new Elderflower Aperitivo

Fine wine and spirits company Biggar and Leith has announced the launch of a new addition to the Hotel Starlino range of Vermouth and Aperitivos, Starlino Elderflower.

Made with an infusion of elderflower, citrus peel, herbs and spices, combined with wine and spirit, all natural Starlino Elderflower is uniquely fresh, fruity, green and slightly floral with pear, lychee and tropical nuances.


The drink uses naturally grown elderflower, or “Fiori di Sambuca” in Italian, from the Alpine hedgerows and makes a delicious low ABV drink, mixed with tonic or soda, with which to enjoy the summer sunshine and to refresh and relax.

“We are really excited to launch the latest expression in the Hotel Starlino range. We have been really pleased with the reception of Starlino Orange, Rosé and Rosso Vermouth and Aperitivos and we are looking forward to continuing the Summer of the spritz with our new Elderflower Aperitivo,” commented Elwyn Gladstone, founder of Biggar and Leith.

Starlino Vermouths hail from the Vergnano family’s Torino Distillati, in Piedmonte, North-Eastern Italy. Beppe Ronco, master distiller and winemaker at Torino Distillati said: “Torino is the birth-place of Vermouth and here at Torino Distillati we’ve been making them for around 100 years. We are seeing a huge resurgence of interest in Vermouths and Aperitivos and wanted to create something new, fresh and delicious to bring this forgotten but wonderful category back to life. Vermouths and Aperitivos are showing signs of being the next big thing.”

The drink is presented in a frosted, heavily embossed bottle, featuring details from Hotel Starlino, such as an elevator door indicator, room numbers and lobby bells.

Hotel Starlino Elderflower Aperitivo (RRP: £23 for 75cl ABV: 17%) is available to the trade via Craftwork: sales@craftwork.uk.com.
