How we calculate the Vermutpedia Score →

Overall impression

Vermutpedia is re-evaluating the Italian catalogue; the Vermutpedia Score for this entry remains pending until the new tasting round is complete. Vermouth di Torino G.I. Rosso Del Professore embodies authentic Piedmontese tradition according to delprofessore.com: selected 100% Italian wines, natural ingredients and Vermouth di Torino G.I. certification. Born from the Jerry Thomas Project — created by Leonardo Leuci and bartenders to honour mixologist The Professor — at Antica Distilleria Quaglia of Asti. The house defines it as the rossa expression of a range balancing unmistakable flavours and aromas with traditional recipes. For Vermutpedia, it is the spiced, balsamic heart of the Del Professore trio: more body and warmth than amber Classico, with Torinese G.I. credentials and Jerry Thomas narrative.

Nose and palate

The official sheet describes richness of wood, warmth of spices, freshness of Mediterranean maquis and the accent of absinthe, with a soft, full palate and gentian finish. Rosso brings more body and spices than amber Classico from the same line. Semisweet profile, round and balsamic, with structured bitterness in the aftertaste — a rosso built for both aperitivo and classic cocktail work without the medicinal depth of Chinato.

How to serve it

Versatile in aperitivo or classic cocktails: Negroni, Manhattan or Americano, where the official website highlights the multidimensional character of Del Professore vermouths. Also alone with ice and orange twist in an aperitif glass — the natural service for a Torinese rosso with Moscato soul and Piedmontese botany.

Production context

Made in Piedmont by Quaglia with Moscato base and vegetable botanics, 17.5% vol. and 75 cl format. The entire Del Professore range — Classico, Rosso, Chinato and Superiore — meets Vermouth di Torino G.I. regulations. Sibling of amber Classico and Chinato in Vermutpedia.
