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 Rosso is the red 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 Rosso forms part of the tasting gift set with Bianco and Dry — three 75 cl bottles — and represents classic Torinese style reinterpreted from the Canavese, territory of Erbaluce di Caluso and Nebbiolo di Carema. The vermouth line shares the house DNA with grappa from those grapes that distinguish Revel Chion's offer. For Vermutpedia, the Rosso is the artisan Piedmontese red vermouth reference of the range: semisweet, sweet-bitter balance and classic aperitif and cocktail profile, sibling to floral Bianco and extra-dry Dry.

Nose and palate

Distillery documentation and the consolidated range profile describe a Vermouth di Torino Rosso in classic Torinese style: intense red colour, nose of Canavese herbs, balance between enveloping sweetness and artemisia bitterness, with spices recalling Piedmont's great vermouth tradition. On the palate, structural depth, sensory persistence and capacity to cleanse the palate — qualities the house highlights for moments of relaxation and as an elegant digestif after dinner. At 16% vol., alcohol and botanicals integrate without harshness. Compared with the Bianco — golden yellow, floral-citrus, lighter — the Rosso brings more body and more spiced weight; against the Dry — 17% vol., extra dry, oriented to Martini — it is rounder and more suited to Americano and Negroni. Selection of officinal herbs and prized botanicals on a high-quality wine base defines an artisan rosso against industrial vermouths. For anyone seeking Vermouth di Torino with a historic Canavese distillery stamp, Revel Chion Rosso offers verifiable tradition at distilleria-revelchion.it.

How to serve it

Revel Chion recommends its Vermouth di Torino in classics such as Americano, Negroni, Spritz, Gin Tonic and Revel Fizz, according to the official website's cocktail section. The Rosso is the natural choice for Americano with bitter and soda, Negroni with gin and bitter, and on-the-rocks aperitif with orange twist. Served straight, cold (4–6 °C) in an aperitif cup or short glass with ice, where sweet-bitter balance shines without elaborate cocktails. At Casa Revel — Via Casassa 4, Chiaverano — tastings with local charcuterie and cheese pairings are offered to showcase vermouth, liqueurs and spirits. The tasting gift set with Rosso, Bianco and Dry invites style comparison in a single session. The 75 cl format suits cocktail bars and quality home consumption. For Vermutpedia, the Rosso is drunk cold and convivially: Piedmontese vermouth that extends the aperitif and closes dinner with digestive elegance, in the spirit of the house.
