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 Dry is the extra-dry reference of the vermouth trio from Distilleria Revel Chion in Chiaverano (Canavese, Piedmont), at the foot of Gran Paradiso. The distillery, present since 1850, preserves more than 175 years of distillation tradition and produces grappa, liqueurs, Vermouth di Torino and aperitifs according to its official website. The Dry completes the tasting gift set alongside Rosso and Bianco — three 75 cl bottles — and is designed for classic cocktails where vermouth must contribute herbaceousness and bitterness without residual sweetness. At 17% vol., it is the driest and most alcoholic reference in the range, oriented to Martini, Bronx and dry Americano. The line shares Canavese territory with Erbaluce di Caluso and Nebbiolo di Carema grappa that distinguish Revel Chion. For Vermutpedia, the Dry represents the artisan extra-dry Piedmontese vermouth of the house: clean, defined and sibling to semisweet Bianco and classic Rosso in the official trio.

Nose and palate

The consolidated range profile and distillery documentation describe a Dry of pale colour, with a nose dominated by artemisia and alpine herbs of the Canavese, without the sweetness characterising the Bianco or the spiced density of the Rosso. On the palate, a clean, dry palate, defined bitterness and herbal persistence that cleanses between sips — ideal for cocktails where vermouth must make its presence felt without sweetening. At 17% vol. — one point more than Bianco and Rosso at 16% — alcohol reinforces structure and capacity to support gin or whisky in Martini and Manhattan. Compared with industrial dry vermouths, Revel Chion Dry maintains artisan character from a historic distillery: selected botanicals, Torinese balance and alpine finesse. Against the Bianco — floral, citrus, semisweet — the Dry is more austere and more oriented to cocktail function. For anyone seeking extra-dry Vermouth di Torino with a Canavese stamp, the Dry offers verifiable precision at distilleria-revelchion.it.

How to serve it

Revel Chion recommends its vermouth in classics such as Martini, Americano, Negroni, Spritz and Revel Fizz according to the official website's cocktail section. The Dry is the natural choice for dry Martini — gin or vodka, adjustable ratio, olive or lemon twist — Bronx with moderate orange juice, and Americano with less sweet vermouth proportion. Served straight, very cold (4–5 °C) in a small cup or short glass, as a dry aperitif for palates that prefer bitterness without sweetness. At Casa Revel, Chiaverano, tastings with local charcuterie and cheese pairings can be booked to showcase the Dry in a gastronomic context. The 75 cl format suits serious cocktail bars and home mixology. For Vermutpedia, the Dry is drunk cold and with precision: Piedmontese vermouth that invites comparison with Bianco and Rosso from the same gift set and discovery of how the extra-dry style transforms the same Torinese tradition.

Production context

Distilleria Revel Chion produces in Chiaverano (TO) since 1850, in the heart of the Canavese framed by Gran Paradiso National Park. The official trio comprises Vermouth di Torino Rosso, Bianco and Dry in 75 cl, available in a tasting gift set (code 14002, €75.50) and at the shop at Via Casassa 4, open Mon–Sat 9–12 / 15–19. The vermouth range shares territory and savoir-faire with Erbaluce di Caluso and Nebbiolo di Carema grappa. The Dry is made with selected botanicals in an extra-dry profile, 17% vol., no barrel ageing declared. Casa Revel offers tasting experiences and aperitifs with typical products of the territory. For Vermutpedia, the Dry synthesises artisan extra-dry Canavese vermouth: 17% vol., 75 cl, technical piece of the Revel Chion trio verifiable at distilleria-revelchion.it.
