Overall impression

Vermutpedia is re-evaluating the Italian catalogue; this entry's Vermutpedia Score remains pending until the new tasting round is complete. Amistà Vermouth di Torino is the vermouth project of the Nizza Monferrato winery according to amistapiedmontwine.com: a base of grapes grown for Nizza DOCG, restrained sugar and botanicals that allow the red wine to shine. A premium approach with international ambitions — New York, London, Monte Carlo —; 'elegance = proportion, emotion and surprise' (Valentino).

Nose and palate

Bitter orange, cinnamon, cardamom and clove; camomile and red rose. Gentian and cinchona in a slightly bitter, fresh and balanced finish according to the official notes. A balanced nose with restrained sugar that complements the freshness of the wine and the botanical bitterness.

How to serve it

Served very cold, with refined food or in cocktails where the base wine should stand out — uses suggested by Amistà. Capable of shining in cocktails, neat or paired with fine-dining dishes; the house describes it as a tasting experience capable of surprising with a rainbow of emotions.

Production context

17% vol., 75 cl. Made with grapes destined for Nizza DOCG according to amistapiedmontwine.com. A bespoke combination of red wine and botanicals to achieve premium quality; personality born from the balance between wine and aromatic plants. An exclusive and refined tasting experience. Contains sulphites.
