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. Vermouth Anselmo Rosso reinterprets the 1854 recipe with artisan production, natural ingredients and marked citrus notes according to anselmotorino.com. A historic brand based in Castelnuovo Don Bosco with more than 170 years of tradition; recognisable for its balance of flavours and the complexity of a genuine Vermouth di Torino.

Nose and palate

Balance of sweetness and bitterness with herbal complexity and citrus. Sensory profile documented on the official sheet: 30% herbaceous, 25% floral, 15% spiced, 15% sweet, 15% fruity, 5% woody and 5% acidity. Ideal for Mi-To, Americano and historic Negroni.

How to serve it

Neat on ice, in a Mi-To with Anselmo Bitter Classico — 4 cl each of vermouth and bitter in equal parts, ice, orange and lemon — or in classic Torinese cocktails according to anselmotorino.com. The Mi-To, an icon of the Italian nineteenth-century aperitivo, gave rise to the Negroni and the Americano; Anselmo recommends it as their favourite serve.

Production context

18% vol., 75 cl. Artisan production with the finest aromatic and officinal herbs according to anselmotorino.com. Carlo Anselmo tradition since the mid-nineteenth century; Anselmo Torino SRL, 'the Vermouth of Turin by excellence' with more than 170 years of history. Production at Viale Europa 3, Castelnuovo Don Bosco (AT). Contains sulphites.
