Bonal Gentiane Quina is an aperitif that has things in common with both amari and sweet vermouth. It is an infusion of herbs like gentian and chinchona bark (also called quina, the source of quinine) in a fortified wine base that was first made in 1865. It smells and tastes strongly of red fruits like plums and cherries, but also herbs, honey, plum and licorice.
