Overall impression

Vermutpedia is re-evaluating the Italian catalogue; the Vermutpedia Score for this entry remains pending until the next tasting round. Canti Superior Vermouth di Torino Bianco is the white of Canti Wine's Superior range: aromatic wine, Piedmontese tradition and the Vermouth di Torino denomination recently recognised as a protected indication, according to cantiwine.com. The Superior uses exclusively Piedmont-origin DOC wine and a selection of herbs, spices, flowers, barks and roots chosen by the technical team after years of experimentation and tastings aimed at the best olfactory and gustatory balance. The recipe includes at least five herbs and spices cultivated in Piedmont, with Roman wormwood standing out, blended with others from around the world to achieve an «inimitable» harmony. For Vermutpedia, Canti Superior Bianco represents Piedmont winery Vermouth di Torino white: intense straw yellow, semidry profile and counterpoint to the Rosso within the two-reference range. 17% vol., usual one-litre bottle.

Nose and palate

Canti's official website describes an intense straw yellow colour and rich aromatic complexity dominated by Roman wormwood, floral spices and a delicious citrus finish. On the palate, complex, with perfect balance between spices and roots, correct sweetness and adequate alcohol content — a tasting note that summarises the house's semidry style. Documented ingredients are Piedmont DOC wine, sugar, alcohol and infusion of aromatic herbs and spices; once opened, store in a cool place and consume within a month. Compared with sweeter whites, Canti Superior Bianco bets on balance between roots, spices and moderate sweetness, with Roman wormwood as the aromatic thread. A floral, citrus and herbaceous profile that invites cold aperitivo and classic mixology, with the precision of the Canti technical team behind every bottle.

How to serve it

Canti recommends the Superior Bianco «delicious on its own as an aperitif», but also excellent as a base for classic cocktails. Serve very cold, between 10 and 12 °C, in a wide glass or low tumbler with ice and a slice of lemon that enhances the citrus finish and Roman wormwood. It works in Martini, white spritz and mixed drinks where a semidry Piedmont white brings complexity without excess sweetness. Pairs with olives, grissini, fresh cheeses and light Piedmont appetisers. The one-litre bottle facilitates bar service; once opened, consume within a month according to the house. For Vermutpedia, Canti Superior Bianco is the option for anyone seeking a Vermouth di Torino white with Roman wormwood, at least five Piedmont botanicals and semidry balance documented at cantiwine.com/portfolios/white-vermouth/.
