Overall impression

3 Setmanes Vermut is the red reference of the eponymous line from Carviresa Cellers, a Segrià cooperative based in Tàrrega (Lleida). The name evokes the three weeks of traditional maceration that distinguish the brand's artisan philosophy from accelerated vermouth production. Listed in Carviresa's official catalogue as reference BO-C112 — 75 cl, 15% vol., 6.20 € VAT included in the cooperative shop — it shares DNA with the 3 Setmanes Vermut Blanc from the same bodega. In 2026 the black vermouth was awarded Vinari Gran d'Or for Best Red or Black Vermouth at the Premios Vinari dels Vermuts Catalans, consolidating Carviresa as a Lleida reference in the category. Not a barrel-aged or internationally ambitious vermouth: it bets on accessibility, Catalan maceration tradition and a white wine base that brings freshness and acid balance. For the palate seeking an artisan, award-winning and honestly priced red, 3 Setmanes represents cooperative vermouth in pure form.

Nose and palate

Light amber and brilliant colour, more luminous than Jerez oxidative reds or barrel reserves. On the nose emerge Mediterranean herbs and citrus: wormwood in the foreground, candied orange peel and an herbal background that recalls prolonged maceration of roots, flowers and aromatic barks. The white wine base — 100% according to distribution sheets — brings freshness, balanced acidity and fruity notes that avoid the heaviness of denser vermouths. On the palate the entry is soft and round, with contained semisweet sweetness and elegant bitterness that persists in the aftertaste without aggression; the sweet-bitter balance is the most distinctive trait against industrial competitors in the same price range. Medium texture, clean and persistent herbal-citrus finish. Compared with the 3 Setmanes Blanc in the range, the red offers more body and botanical depth while maintaining the same consumption versatility. A direct vermouth, without barrel artifice, that communicates its Lleida origin clearly.

How to serve it

3 Setmanes Vermut performs in classic Catalan aperitivo formats. Very cold with ice in a balloon or wide glass is the most habitual form; a slice of orange or lemon twist enhances the maceration citrus. Works in simple spritz with soda or soft tonic, and as a vermut tonic base on terrace without needing additional bitter. For pairing, combine with preserves, arbequina olives, Segrià charcuterie and fresh cheeses; its semisweet-bitter profile does not compete with very salty tapas. Also valid in everyday cocktails — accessible Negroni, light Manhattan — when a red with character but without reserve density is sought. Ideal temperature between 6 and 8 °C. The range offers a white alternative for palates preferring light herbal character; the red is the option for those valuing more marked bitterness and Vinari Gran d'Or 2026 recognition as a Catalan quality seal.

Production context

Carviresa Cellers produces 3 Setmanes Vermut at the Segrià cooperative (Lleida), within the Catalan vitivinicultural ecosystem. Reference BO-C112 forms part of a range including vermut blanc (BO-C128) and other 3 Setmanes products. Artisan production on white wine base, maceration with herbs, roots, flowers, berries, barks and fruits — with declared sulphites — and no barrel ageing, which defines its fresh and accessible profile. 75 cl, 15% vol., competitive cooperative price. Vinari Gran d'Or 2026 for red vermouth positions Carviresa among the most notable Lleida wineries in the Catalan vermouth landscape. For Vermutpedia, 3 Setmanes red synthesises cooperative vermouth: maceration tradition, democratic price and specialised jury recognition. Product information verifiable at carviresa.com.
