Both Suze and Cocchi Americano contribute bitterness here. The wine brings botanicals of its own alongside the liqueur’s gentian character, with Plymouth providing the gin base. That makes room for sweetness and a rounded impression as well as the root-like edge associated with Suze. The wine is doing more than making the bitter easier to drink. Remember Cocchi Americano’s full name: Cocchi’s sweet vermouth is a different bottle and would make a different drink.
