POVIJEST / HISTORY
Giulio Cocchi je bio mlad i kreativan slastičar iz Firence, gdje je radio u najpopularnijim barovima koji se nalazi na trgu Piazza del Duomo. U kasnom devetnaestom stoljeću preselio se u Asti, mali, ali živahan grad na sjevernom zapadu Italije, nedaleko od Torino.
Legenda kaže da se zaljubio u kćer vlasnika jednog od barova na trgu Piazza Alfieri-glavni trg u Asti-ju.
Fasciniran lokalnom tradicijom hrane i vina, otkrio je da je Asti glavni grad Moscata i lokalaca koji su podržavali miješanje vina s biljkama i začinima.
U 1891.je počeo bazirati sve svoje aktivnosti na proizvodnji pjenušavih vina, s ponudom posebno aromatiziranih vina. Barolo Chinato, Aperitivo Americano i nekoliko različitih Vermutha ubrzo su postali vrlo dobro poznati i uspješni. Tako je 1913. okupio par ovlaštenih trgovaca, kojima je napravio degustaciju , kako bi mogli probati njegove proizvode. 1913. je bilo sedam degustacija Cocchi u barovima u Piemonteu, a uskoro ih je postalo dvanaest.
Cocchijevi originalni proizvodi i recepti bio su dobro poznati tijekom Belle Epoque i na svestranom sceni futuristički razdoblja.

Giulio Cocchi was a young and creative pastry chef from Florence, where he worked in the most popular bars located in Piazza del Duomo. In the late nineteenth century he moved to Asti, a small but lively town in northwestern Italy, not far from Turin. Legend has it that he fell in love with the daughter of the owner of one of the bars in Piazza Alfieri – the main square in Asti. Fascinated by the local tradition of food and wine, he discovered that Asti was the capital of Muscat and locals who supported the mixing of wine with herbs and spices. In 1891, it began to base all its activities on the production of sparkling wines, offering specially aromatized wines. Barolo Chinato, Aperitivo Americano and several different Vermouths soon became very well known and successful. So in 1913 he gathered a couple of authorized merchants, to whom he made a tasting, so that they could try his products. In 1913 there were seven Cocchi tastings in bars in Piedmont, and soon there were twelve. Cocchi’s original products and recipes were well known during the Belle Epoque and on the versatile scene of the futuristic period. Cocchi products and the name soon spread around the world, as shown by export documents to New York, London, Sydney, colonial Africa and Venezuela, where the “Casa Cocchi de Venezuela” was founded. Since 1978, “Giulio Cocchi” has been taken over by the Bava family, well-known wine producers in Monferrato and Langhe. Today, the winery still maintains its artistic character and follows original recipes, formulated by Giulio Cocchi in 1891. 2011 was a year that marked the rebirth of the top vermouth di Torino on the international scene. Not to forget the attention to sparkling wines, with a commitment to the valorization of Alta Lang DO.
