Vermouth di Torino is an aromatic wine with Protected Geographical Indication, originating from the Piedmont capital, where its tradition has deep roots dating back to the 18th century. This fortified wine is distinguished by the infusion of aromatic herbs, spices, and other botanical ingredients that give it a complex and characteristic organoleptic profile. The wine base is expertly treated according to established recipes, which include the addition of alcohol and a carefully crafted blend of aromatic compounds.
On the palate, Vermouth di Torino presents bitter notes balanced by a pleasant sweetness, with hints of herbs and spices that emerge progressively. Its appearance is transparent, with hues ranging from pale straw yellow to deep red depending on the type. The texture is smooth and velvety, with an alcohol content that generally ranges around 16-18 degrees.
In the kitchen and beverage preparations, Vermouth di Torino represents a versatile ingredient: traditionally appreciated as an aperitif served chilled, possibly with a splash of soda, it is also used in numerous classic cocktails.
