Vermouth

Vermouth is much more than just a flavored wine: it is a symbol of refinement and tradition, encapsulating centuries of history and innovation. This elixir, originating from Turin, has conquered the world with its unique and unmistakable character. Its roots go back to the 18th century, when it was first created by the intuition of a winemaker who decided to mix white wine with herbs and spices, following an ancient tradition that dates back to the medicinal wines of Roman times.

Vermouth is distinguished by its aromatic complexity, achieved through a process of infusing a skillful blend of herbs, spices, roots, and citrus peels. Among the most common ingredients are wormwood, gentian, cinnamon, cardamom, and orange peel. Each producer zealously guards their own recipe, making each Vermouth unique. Its origins in Piedmont are not just geographical, but also cultural: Turin has been the beating heart of this tradition, and still hosts some of the most historic production houses today.

In terms of production, Vermouth begins its life as a base white wine, often neutral, that is enriched with alcohol and sugar. The real magic happens when the wine is infused with a secret blend of botanicals, giving Vermouth its characteristic aromatic bouquet. There are different types of Vermouth, including red Vermouth, known for its sweetness and amber color, and white Vermouth, which is drier and fresher. Then there's the rosé Vermouth, which offers a balance between sweetness and acidity, and the dry Vermouth, preferred for making iconic cocktails like the Martini.

The organoleptic profile of Vermouth is rich and varied. On the nose, notes of aromatic herbs, spices, and citrus are perceived, while on the palate, sweetness, acidity, and a slight bitterness are skillfully blended. Its structure is full and enveloping, with a persistent finish that leaves the palate pleasantly stimulated. It is a wine that lends itself to multiple occasions: it can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or used as a base ingredient for many classic cocktails.

Vermouth is the undisputed protagonist of aperitifs and cocktails, but it is also suitable for surprising culinary pairings. It can be served as an aperitif, accompanied by salty snacks such as olives, cheeses, and cold cuts, or as a digestive at the end of a meal. Its versatility makes it an ideal companion for experimenting and creating new taste experiences.
