The herbs used for Cinzano Bianco is a secret, but at least wormwood, cinnamon, clove, majoraan, thyme, yarrow and gentians are on the list. 100cl bottle costs 9.69€ at Rimi (Estonia). 

Cinzano Bianco is light, slightly herbal and sweet vermouth. Aroma and taste are pretty much the same, it’s very smooth, sugar and herbs are well balanced. It’s not just sweeter version of Extra Dry but have different taste profile. Easy drinking, smooth, slightly bitter and very lightly herbal, herbs will not disturb anybody. It’s nice to drink on it’s own or with some soda water added.
