Overall impression

Miró Bianco is the classic white expression of Emilio Miró Salvat in Reus (Tarragona), a city the house presents as the birthplace of authentic Catalan vermouth. According to vermutmiro.com, the characteristic bitterness of wormwood and gentian, combined with notes of aromatic herbs, sweet spices and refreshing citrus, sets the Bianco apart within the historic Miró range. A bold and luminous vermouth with very good structure, perfect for drinking neat or blending into classic and contemporary cocktails. At 15% vol. and available in the standard 1-litre format in the official store — Vermutpedia's file lists 75 cl — it forms part of the portfolio alongside Rosso, Extra Dry, Reserva, Gran Reserva, Fusión and Organic. For Vermutpedia, it represents the Reus white aperitif vermouth: an agreeable and aromatic profile, balance between sweetness and herbal bitterness, and the heritage of more than a century of Catalan vermouth tradition. Emilio Miró Salvat S.A. communicates a historic Reus recipe with a combination of natural aromatic herbs; the Bianco stands out for its structure and luminosity against generic supermarket whites.

Nose and palate

The official tasting note describes a crystalline, clear and bright appearance with yellowish-green reflections. Soft and lightly fruity aromas — lemon, apple — sweet flowers — vanilla — and medicinal plants. On the palate, a sweet opening with white wine flavour, fresh and silky, but with a pronounced herbal bitterness that heightens the perfect harmony of its botanicals' intense flavours. Long and pleasant finish. The contrast between semisweet sweetness and the bitterness of wormwood and gentian defines the Miró Bianco identity against more neutral whites. Silky texture, balanced passage, herbal-citrus persistence. Compared with Miró Extra Dry — low sugar, juniper, cocktail-oriented profile — the Bianco is rounder and more aromatic; set against the classic Rosso, it prioritises floral character and citrus over warm spices. A white for palates seeking Reus vermouth with documented Mediterranean character. The official nutritional sheet indicates 17 g of sugar per 100 ml — a semisweet profile — balanced by wormwood and gentian bitterness; the sweet-bitter contrast is the Miró signature. In the glass it evolves from floral vanilla towards persistent citrus and medicinal herbs.

How to serve it

Miró recommends the Bianco very cold, with ice and a lemon twist or green olive — the classic Catalan-style aperitif. The official website proposes Negroni, Manhattan, Derby with bourbon and Sacramentos cocktails, where the Bianco's structure sustains mixed drinks without becoming diluted. Pour between 6 and 8 °C in a wide glass or tumbler; ice opens up citrus and herbs without excess sweetness. Pairs with olives, preserved fish, fresh cheeses and light Mediterranean tapas. Also works in a white spritz and simple soda-and-vermouth serves when integrated herbal bitterness is desired. It is not a sweet, quick-consumption terrace vermouth: it invites appreciation of wormwood, gentian and citrus. For Vermutpedia, the Bianco is the Reus choice for a cold aperitif and cocktails documented at vermutmiro.com. Pairs with green olives, pickled anchovies and fresh Catalan cheeses; in a white spritz it adds herbal bitterness without excessive sweetness. Temperature 6–8 °C; balloon glass or wide tumbler in the tradition of Reus vermouth time.
