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. Strucchi Vermouth di Torino Rosso pays homage to Arnaldo Strucchi (1853–1913), Turin winemaker and author of «Il Vermouth di Torino» (1907), per strucchi.land. Paolo Dalla Mora reinterpreted the recipe with orange peel, marjoram, savory and clary sage in a two-day mariage. Made by fortification and aromatisation of Italian white wine; 16% vol., 75 cl. Brown colour. Riccardo Guasco label inspired by Mata Hari. Mi-To reference alongside Strucchi Bitter. For Vermutpedia, it is semisweet artisan Torinese red with historic botanicals and contemporary Dalla Mora sensibility — not a tinted wine vermouth but a white-wine-based rosso in Piedmontese tradition.

Nose and palate

Strucchi.land describes an intense, complex aroma with artemisia and spice; cinnamon and clove stand out. Rich palate with orange peel, marjoram, savory and clary sage; persistent finish with woody chincona bitter echo, balanced by wine freshness. Beveragegarage.com confirms an intense profile on fortified Italian white wine. Sweet-bitter balance with elegant bitter-orange character. Piedmontese tradition with Dalla Mora's contemporary sensibility. Compared with the Bianco and Dry siblings, the Rosso adds spice warmth and chincona persistence. For Vermutpedia, a coherent artisan rosso profile verifiable at strucchi.land.

How to serve it

Strucchi recommends the Rosso in Negroni, Americano or as «vermuttino» ottocentesco: alone, with ice, one hour before dinner. Base of the classic Mi-To (Milano Torino) with Strucchi Bitter. Serve cold in a glass or wide tumbler. The artemisia-orange-chincona profile suits international cocktails and direct Piedmontese aperitivo. Also on the rocks to enhance spice and chincona bitterness without dissolving structure. For Vermutpedia, Strucchi Rosso is drunk cold — Negroni, Mi-To, solo aperitivo — as artisan Torinese red vermouth.

Production context

Strucchi applies maceration of selected herbs, white-wine fortification, two-day mariage and filtration, per strucchi.land/en/about/. Rosso: orange peel, marjoram, savory, clary sage, 16% vol., 75 cl. Range with Bianco, Dry and Bitter. Paolo Dalla Mora project distributed by Gaja Distribuzione. For Vermutpedia, the Rosso synthesises Strucchi artisan Torinese red vermouth: semisweet, historic botanicals, no ageing. A piece verifiable at strucchi.land.
