Seasonal Pick Pio Cesare Vermouth De Torino Rosso 750ml Now 45% Cheaper [IOrgXDoL]

Winemaker Description 

This Vermouth uses a mixture of 26 aromatic herbs such as marjoram leaves, gentian roots, orange zest and others, which all together compose our family recipe. We then add a blend of different Pio Cesare white wines, including our Moscato d’Asti. After a 15-day maceration, the Vermouth obtained is aged in oak barrels for at least 4 months. The Recipe is finally completed with the addition of caramel, which gives our Vermouth its light color, and its distinctive aroma and taste. In order to better appreciate our Pio Cesare Vermouth, we recommend drinking it in the old “piemontese style”, sipping it with no ice, but just a little slice of lemon zest.

Expert Review

Robert Parker 90+ Points | The NV Vermouth di Torino is based on Chardonnay but is infused and aromatized with cloves, cinnamon, quinine, citrus peel, ginger, nutmeg, marjoram and other secret ingredients that were written down on a piece of paper in 1952 and kept under lock and key ever since. The folks at Pio Cesare did well to bring this traditional recipe for Vermouth back into circulation. This is an ideal aperitivo drink that can be served on ice with a slice of lemon. It opens to a bright orange-gold color and offers a complicated bouquet that recalls the many aromatic ingredients used in the infusion. The fishing is sweet, but not excessively so.
