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. Peliti's Vermouth Bianco XXXVII recovers one of the most complex formulas from Federico Peliti's recipe book, according to pelitis.com: exotic composition from the Piedmontese confectioner's final years in India, on a base of Piedmontese Moscato. Amarot srl (Corso Galileo Ferraris 16, Turin) reproduces the recipe without altering it, within a heritage of more than forty analysed formulations. The bianco distinguishes itself from rosso XXII by its floral and oriental-spiced character, far from the standard Torinese profile. For Vermutpedia, it represents historic vermouth as collectible artefact: Belle Époque heritage, Indian-Piedmontese fusion and amaro-aromatic classification according to the house.

Nose and palate

The official website highlights floral and colourful notes of Indian spices with marked bitterness from double wormwood. Piedmontese Moscato and exotic aromaticity form a unique product against traditional artisan vermouths. On the palate, balance between Moscato sweetness and double bitter persistence; amaro-aromatic profile according to house classification. Compared with standard Torinese bianco — simpler, more herbaceous — Formula XXXVII offers oriental spice complexity and double assenzio intensity. Texture is round from Moscato; finish is long and markedly bitter. A bianco for palates seeking historic vermouth outside the contemporary map: India meets Piedmont in a recipe the house presents as museum-piece and tasting experience.

How to serve it

Cold aperitif in a glass or in White Negroni when seeking a historic white with Indian-Piedmontese personality. Also as contemplative digestif: the house presents bottles in tubular case — or wood on request — as Belle Époque collectible piece. Serve between 6 and 8 °C; the double wormwood and Indian spices reward slow tasting rather than heavy dilution. In White Negroni, it brings exotic florality and marked bitterness that distinguish it from standard bianco. For collectors, the tubular custodia elevates service beyond everyday aperitif. For Vermutpedia, Peliti's Bianco XXXVII is discovery vermouth: historic recipe, exotic botany, Turin craftsmanship by Amarot.

Production context

Formula XXXVII, 75 cl. Amarot selected two recipes from more than forty Peliti formulas: rosso XXII for the British royal household (1877–1940) and this exotic bianco. Complement to Rosso XXII in the historic Peliti's Vermut line, product of Amarot srl in Turin. 17% vol. Piedmontese Moscato base; double wormwood; Indian spice composition reproduced without alteration from Peliti's recipe book. Bottles in tubular case or wood on request. For Vermutpedia, Bianco XXXVII synthesises historic Turinese vermouth as cultural artefact: Federico Peliti heritage, Formula XXXVII, verifiable at pelitis.com/IT.html.
