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 Rosso High Life completes Egidio Isolabella's historic range at Borgo Isolabella, Loazzolo (Alta Langa): the same heritage since 1870 — the family was supplier to the Royal Household in 1906 and preserved the formulas after the Milan plant was destroyed in 1943 — but in red expression and litre format. The bottle carries the cream variant of Marcello Dudovich's label, with Pierrot holding dark grape clusters, and a red capsule with the "Vermouth dal 1870" neck band.

Nose and palate

Not yet rated.

How to serve it

Serve cold neat, with ice and orange peel or olive, in the Torinese aperitif style; also in classics such as Negroni or Americano where an artisan rosso is sought. The 1 L format suits bars and shared service.

Production context

Turin IGP Rosso vermouth from the High Life line, made in Loazzolo by Isolabella della Croce alongside Bianco High Life. 100 cl. Alcohol content is not clearly shown on the official bottle image; pending confirmation with the house. Relaunch at Borgo Isolabella within the family project begun in 2001 by Lodovico and Maria Teresa Isolabella della Croce.
