Torino , Italia

Overall impression

Vermutpedia is re-evaluating the Italian catalogue; the Vermutpedia Score for this entry remains pending until the new tasting round is complete. Strucchi Vermouth di Torino Dry is the extra-dry reference of the Strucchi range, inspired by Arnaldo Strucchi and his 1907 treatise per strucchi.land. Made with nine botanicals, including juniper and gentian; fortified and aromatised Italian white wine base. 18% vol., 75 cl, pale straw colour. Riccardo Guasco label inspired by Josephine Baker. Sibling to Bianco (16%) and Rosso (16%) in Paolo Dalla Mora's artisan Vermouth di Torino line. For Vermutpedia, it is the cocktail-forward pole of Strucchi: dry, herbaceous, without barrel ageing, built for Martini and classic mixed drinks with Piedmontese character.

Nose and palate

Strucchi.land describes a fragrant, balanced aroma with mentholated eucalyptus and cardamom notes, complemented by artemisia, rosemary, dittany and bay. Dry, crisp palate with light ginger spice and elegant fruity finish. Beveragegarage.com confirms a dry, asciutto profile on fortified Italian white wine. Less sweetness than Bianco; more artemisia and Mediterranean spice. Dry, persistent finish, ideal for classic cocktails. Compared with industrial dry vermouths, the eucalyptus-cardamom-artemisia triangle delivers identifiable Torinese personality. For Vermutpedia, a coherent extra-dry profile verifiable at strucchi.land and beveragegarage.com.

How to serve it

Strucchi recommends the Dry in Martini Cocktail: artemisia herbal freshness with Mediterranean flavours and spices that elevate the classic with an elegant finish. Also in Bronx, dry Americano or gin mixes. Serve very cold in a cocktail glass. The eucalyptus-cardamom-artemisia profile substitutes industrial dry vermouths on author bars. Works neat for those seeking dry vermouth with verifiable Piedmontese character. For Vermutpedia, Strucchi Dry is drunk very cold — Martini, Bronx, neat — as artisan Torinese extra-dry vermouth.

Production context

Strucchi applies herb maceration, white-wine fortification, two-day mariage and filtration before bottling, per strucchi.land/en/about/. Dry: nine botanicals (juniper, gentian), 18% vol., 75 cl. Full range with Bianco, Rosso and Bitter (27%). Paolo Dalla Mora project with Gaja distribution. For Vermutpedia, the Dry synthesises Strucchi artisan Torinese extra-dry vermouth: dry, herbaceous, no ageing. A piece verifiable at strucchi.land.
