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. Alessio Rosso di Torino reproduces the 'Vino di Lusso' of the late nineteenth century according to Tempus Fugit: a fine Piedmontese white wine infused with grande and petite wormwood and more than twenty-five pharmaceutical-grade botanicals, intended to be drunk neat as a luxury wine. Classic di Torino recipe inspired by the nineteenth century; Double Gold at the WSWA Tasting Competition 2015.

Nose and palate

Light bitterness, bright citrus and herbs; full body that adds weight to the cocktail, long and refreshing finish according to the official notes. Lightly bitter but luminous, with citrus and herbal notes that lengthen the finish both in the glass and in classic mixes.

How to serve it

Chilled neat, in a Negroni or an author Americano — recommendations from Tempus Fugit. Designed as a luxury wine for direct consumption; it adds weight and herbal character when substituting commercial vermouths. Also in any classic nineteenth-century cocktail where vermouth di Torino was the protagonist.

Production context
