Enjoy it by itself as an aperitif, neat, or with some ice cubes. Mix it up with gin or vodka, whichever you prefer, to make a refreshing martini. During this period, the Duchy of Savoy transferred the capital from Chambéry, France, to Torino in the Piedmont region. Upon his arrival, the court sampled the local delicacies and discovered the fortified wine. Interestingly, most martini variants that use the name or “tini” suffix don’t always feature vermouth. For instance, an appletini substitutes the vermouth for apple sour. Vodka Martini The wines that go into Carpano Antica are selected from the Puglia, Sicily, and Romagna regions, each containing a lower alcohol content, which allows the botanical ingredients to take center stage in the finished product's profile. Depending on the herb or plant, its flavor will be either hot-infused or cold-extracted, which can take up to several months to complete. The name "vermouth" is the French pronunciation of the German word Wermut for wormwood that has been used as an ingredient in the drink over its history. Fortified wines containing wormwood as a principal ingredient existed in Germany around the 16th century. At about this time, an Italian merchant named D'Alessio began producing a similar product in Piedmont as a "wormwood wine". D'Alessio's version of the libation contained other botanical ingredients in addition to wormwood. Competing brands developed shortly thereafter in eastern and southeastern France, containing their own proprietary mix of ingredients, including herbs, roots, bark, and spices. [5] [15] [16]

What the manufacturer has blended into it, such as florals, herbs, or spices, will affect your drinking enjoyment. It can be white (bianco), rosé or red (rosso), sweet or dry, although most red vermouths tend to be sweet.

This caught the interest of other producers in South-Eastern France, which began creating their own varieties. The ingredients are then left to steep or macerate. During this, the barrels may be stirred or agitated over several weeks. Afterwards, the vermouth may be extracted via pressing or distillation. That said, the latter can be particularly rare. Martini & Rossi, the top-selling international brand of vermouth, started in 1863 in Turin and produces both dry and sweet vermouths, but is mostly known for its Rosso.
