Overall impression

Padró & Co. Rojo Amargo is the most intense premium red vermouth in the range, according to vermouthpadro.com: a double infusion of more than seventy botanicals and twenty-four months of ageing in chestnut casks. The first infusion employs high-mountain plants; after maceration, the vermouth rests two years in wood before a second botanical formula is added. Best Vermouth from Catalonia at the Premis Vinari 2026.

Nose and palate

A citrus nose: orange peel, cinnamon, clove and dried fruits — from the official tasting note. A velvety, voluminous palate with deep and persistent bitterness. Character defined by the double infusion and ageing in chestnut wood.

How to serve it

Serve very cold. The house recommends pairing with blue cheeses, smoked fish and dark chocolate with salt. Also excellent in a wide glass with ice to appreciate the double infusion and the persistent bitterness without excessive dilution.

Production context

Produced in Bràfim, Camp de Tarragona. 18% vol., 75 cl. Premium Padró & Co. range alongside Rojo Clásico, Dorado and Blanco Reserva. Padró i Família, a family bodega with documented Catalan vermouth tradition at vermouthpadro.com.
