How we calculate the Vermutpedia Score →

Overall impression

Vermutpedia is re-evaluating the Italian catalogue; this entry's Vermutpedia Score remains pending until the new tasting round is complete. Purgatorio is the first vermouth blended exclusively with 100% Arneis DOC in an extra dry superiore, according to 9didante.com: the second stage of the Divina Commedia trilogy inspired by the ascent of Mount Purgatory. Intense personality and unusual body for a dry; floral nose with pear and apricot characteristic of Arneis, complemented by lemon, sage and mint. It redefines the appreciation of extra dry vermouth according to the house.

Nose and palate

Pale colour. Pure Arneis with a refreshing and slightly bitter sensation; unexpected volume in the mouth that redefines the extra dry torinese. Twenty-seven botanicals in the formula shared with Inferno and Paradiso; unusual body for the extra dry category according to 9didante.com.

How to serve it

Neat on ice with a lemon twist, as a premium Martini or dry spritz — serving suggestions by 9diDANTE. Equally enjoyable neat, like the rest of the range developed to be drunk directly on ice with a citrus twist.

Production context

18% vol., 75 cl. Between Inferno Rosso and Paradiso Rosé in the range, made in Alba. Commitment to Piedmontese DOC wines and Superiore classification; twenty-seven botanicals shared with Inferno and Paradiso. Alex Ouziel and Mario Baralis; IGP Vermouth di Torino since 2019 according to 9didante.com.
