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 di Torino Superiore belongs to the line Amarot srl crafts in Turin (Corso Galileo Ferraris 16), reviving Federico Peliti's recipes. According to pelitis.com, more than forty formulations blend Indian spices and Piedmontese flowers over Moscato; since 1877 the vermouth was produced for Edward VII and won medals in Turin, Paris and Calcutta. The Superiore extends that heritage within the Vermouth di Torino category.

Nose and palate

The Peliti rosso profile brings Indian spices, Piedmontese flowers, bitter wormwood and the sweetness of Monferrato passito Moscato. As a Superiore, it offers greater complexity and body within the Torinese disciplinare, with a Belle Époque balance between sweetness and bitterness that evokes the historic Turinese aperitivo without resorting to industrial caramel or neutral shortcuts.

How to serve it

An author's aperitif or a Negroni with historic-Indian character, in the mixing style Peliti's attributes to its blended rossi. Also on its own, well chilled, to appreciate the Amarot artisan reconstruction without haste. Complements Rosso XXII and Bianco XXXVII in the numbered-formula range.

Production context

Product of Amarot srl; Piedmontese Moscato base according to Peliti tradition. 17% vol., 75 cl. The official website details formulas XXII (royal-household rosso) and XXXVII (exotic bianco) as the main references of the recipe book; the Superiore shares origin, producer and raw materials of the Peliti's universe.
