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. Elena Vermouth di Torino Rosso is the foundational vermouth of Elena Spirits, a project by Elena Penna bringing the Currado Vietti family roots in Langa to the world since 2020. According to elenaspirits.com, it combines quality Piedmontese wines with slow infusion of traditional Piedmont botanics and herbs according to an ancient family recipe, looking to the future without forgetting tradition.

Nose and palate

Harmonious, vinous rosso vermouth, with semisweet profile and spiced persistence. Slow infusion of Piedmont herbs on a Nebbiolo Langhe base brings elegance and balance between sweetness, artemisia bitterness and vinous character. Steel tank maturation preserves aromatic freshness — a rosso that wears its grape identity openly, with Langhe Nebbiolo depth and Torinese botanical discipline in equilibrium.

How to serve it

Americano, Negroni, Manhattan or on its own with ice and orange, in the line of Torinese vermouth aperitif. Generous one-litre format for home bar or mixology where a Langhe rosso adds depth without reaching the Superiore crus editions. Serve cold between 6 and 8 °C; orange in Negroni and Americano highlights the spiced, vinous profile.

Production context

Production region Piedmont, 18% vol., 1000 ml bottle, steel ageing verifiable on the official sheet. Elena Spirits extends the range with Superiore TIM21, BB21 and LAZ19. For Vermutpedia, the Rosso is the gateway to the Elena universe: family recipe, Piedmont botanics and Langa wines as the base of the author vermouth catalogue. Sheet verifiable at elenaspirits.com.
