Overall impression

Vermutpedia is re-evaluating the Italian catalogue; this entry's Vermutpedia Score remains pending until the new tasting round is complete. Villa M Vermouth di Torino Rosso Superiore is the premium version of the Piedmont Villa M vermouth line, a brand born in 1978 with experimental spirit and meticulous craftsmanship, today integrated in González Byass's international portfolio — gonzalezbyass.com. Made in Piedmont with a family recipe including thirty-six hand-selected spices and herbs — among them Roman and gentile artemisia, vanilla, liquorice, coriander and sweet orange — it reaches 19% vol. and complies with Vermouth di Torino Superiore discipline. For Vermutpedia, it represents Villa M's top tier against the standard 18% vol. rosso: greater body, persistence and spiced complexity, with deep aromas and semisweet profile oriented to premium aperitif and author cocktails. A refined expression of Turin tradition with Piedmont family heritage and global distribution under the Jerez bodega umbrella.

Nose and palate

On the nose, Villa M Superiore unfolds deep aromas of generous herbs and spices: Roman and gentile artemisia in herbal layer, vanilla and liquorice in sweet-spiced register, coriander and sweet orange in citrus-aromatic nuances. Intense red colour. On the palate, greater body and persistence than the range's standard rosso: broad texture, integrated semisweet sweetness, elegant artemisia bitterness and spiced warmth. Long finish with soft absinthe, vanilla and candied citrus notes. Compared with conventional Villa M Rosso — 18% vol., versatile bar profile — Superiore is denser, more complex and persistent. Against Cocchi Storico or high-end Vermouth di Torino, Villa M Superiore bets on thirty-six declared infusions and 19% vol. A superiore rosso for palates seeking premium Vermouth di Torino with sweet-bitter balance, generous body and extensive Piedmont botany documented in the Villa M brand of González Byass.

How to serve it

Villa M Vermouth di Torino Rosso Superiore is designed for solo service with ice, author Negroni or premium aperitif where the modifier adds depth and persistence. Between 4 and 8 °C in wine glass or wide glass; orange twist enhances the profile's sweet orange. In Negroni, it balances gin and bitter with spiced roundness and noble bitterness; in Manhattan, it adds body and herbaceous layers without aggressiveness. Also with soda for premium spritz or very cold alone with Piedmont charcuterie. Not quick-tap vermouth: it invites slow tasting showing the thirty-six infusions. Pairs with foie, cured cheeses, dark chocolate and intense aperitifs. 75 cl format, 19% vol. For Vermutpedia, Villa M Rosso Superiore is the range's high reference alongside standard rosso: cold service, classic cocktails and superiore profile documented at gonzalezbyass.com/es/bodegas-marcas/villa-m.
