Excellence Keepers: Nero, the Italian Sake
It has recently had its debut: Nero, the first completely Italian sake.
Presented by In Fermento, an expressly created brand derived from the productive collaboration of three Piedmontese companies: the excellent rice producers gliAironi from Lignana, the cocktail bar Affini and the school for barmen evHo both from Turin.
The tradition of the Japanese sake is so ancient that in Japan the word «sake» (酒) simply means «alcoholic drink».
However, sake is not a simple alcoholic drink: it is absolutely unique in its genre. Neither a spirit nor a liquor, the most appropriate definition is «rice wine».
And Nero is even more original and unique, paying homage at the same time both to the Japanese culture and to the Piedmontese tradition of beer and vermouth.
The colour – black – is its first peculiarity, given from Penelope, a kind of whole and coloured rice with an intense and fruity taste. Differently from sake, for Nero’s fermentation a selection of brewer’s yeasts are used. The product is then fortified adding pure alcohol and flavoured through herbs tipically used in the production of vermouth. The final alcoholic volume is 17%.

Furthermore, Nero’s charme extends to its packaging: and obviously here we come on stage!
To close a beautiful finely silk screened bottle there is in fact one of our elegant closures: we are talking about a flat wooden top cap, wengé painted, customized with the logo “In Fermento – Fatto in Italia”, printed in gold through hot stamp.
A small jewel to seal a precious excellence of our Made in Italy.
Moreover, about this collaboration between Ipercap and In Fermento, Gabriele Conte – co-owner of gliAironi and co-founder of In Fermento – says:
“It is born by chance, looking for a closure producing company online, it’s been productive from the beginning. Your sales manager supported me during the samples phase and through the realization of the definitive cap, with promptness in responses and precision… what else can I say? You are the supplier we were looking for!”
