Overall impression

Vermutpedia is re-evaluating the Italian catalogue; the Vermutpedia Score for this entry remains pending until the new tasting round is complete. Revel Chion Vermouth di Torino Bianco is the white reference of the vermouth trio from Distilleria Revel Chion in Chiaverano (Canavese, Piedmont), at the foot of Gran Paradiso National Park. The distillery, with an uninterrupted presence since 1850, preserves more than 175 years of distillation craft and produces grappa, liqueurs, Vermouth di Torino, aperitifs and sweet specialities according to its official website. The Bianco forms part of the tasting gift set with Rosso and Dry — three 75 cl bottles — and represents Torinese vermouth tradition reinterpreted from the Canavese, territory of Erbaluce di Caluso and Nebbiolo di Carema. The vermouth line shares the house DNA with Erbaluce and Nebbiolo grappa that distinguish Revel Chion's offer. For Vermutpedia, the Bianco is the artisan Piedmontese white vermouth of the range: semisweet, Erbaluce base and floral-citrus Canavese profile, sibling to Rosso and Dry in the official trio.

Nose and palate

Distillery documentation and the consolidated range profile describe a Vermouth di Torino Bianco of golden yellow colour, with a floral and citrus nose evoking the Canavese: territorial herbs, citrus and artemisia in balance. On the palate, fresh and evenly bitter, with semisweet sweetness that never cloys and herbal persistence typical of the Torinese style. The Erbaluce di Caluso base — emblematic white grape of the Canavese — brings acidity and aromatic finesse that distinguish this bianco from generic white vermouths. Compared with the Dry — extra dry, 17% vol., oriented to Martini — the Bianco is rounder and more floral; against the Rosso — more spiced with greater weight in classic sweet-bitter balance — it privileges lightness and citrus. At 16% vol., alcohol structures the ensemble without harshness. For anyone seeking Italian white vermouth with a historic distillery stamp and territorial grape, Revel Chion Bianco offers verifiable elegance at distilleria-revelchion.it.

How to serve it

Revel Chion recommends its Vermouth di Torino in classics such as Spritz, Americano, Negroni, Gin Tonic and Revel Fizz, according to the cocktails section of the official website. The Bianco works especially in white Martini, Spritz with prosecco or soda, and on-the-rocks aperitif with lemon or bitter-orange twist. Served straight, very cold (4–6 °C) in an aperitif cup or short glass with ice, where flower and citrus shine without needing a mix. At Casa Revel —the distillery's tasting space at Via Casassa 4, Chiaverano— aperitifs with local charcuterie and cheese pairings showcase vermouth, liqueurs and spirits. The 75 cl format suits quality home consumption and cocktail-bar service seeking artisan Vermouth di Torino. For Vermutpedia, the Bianco is drunk cold and with intention: Piedmontese vermouth that invites comparison with Rosso and Dry from the same gift set.

Production context

Distilleria Revel Chion produces in Chiaverano (TO) since 1850, combining artisan tradition and innovation in grappa, liqueurs and Vermouth di Torino. The official trio comprises Vermouth di Torino Rosso, Bianco and Dry in 75 cl bottles, available in a tasting gift set (code 14002) and at the historic shop at Via Casassa 4. The vermouth range shares Canavese territory with Erbaluce di Caluso and Nebbiolo di Carema grappa, grapes that define local viticulture. The Bianco is made on an Erbaluce base with botanicals selected according to Piedmontese vermouth tradition. Alcohol is 16% vol., no barrel ageing declared. Casa Revel opens the distillery to the public with guided tastings and gastronomic experiences. For Vermutpedia, the Bianco synthesises artisan Canavese white vermouth: 16% vol., 75 cl, semisweet, central piece of the Revel Chion trio verifiable at distilleria-revelchion.it.
