vermouth

An aromatized and sometimes lightly fortified wine originally based on wormwood (artemisia spp, known as vermut in German). Great as an apertif or digestif, and a necessary ingredient in a range of classic cocktails.

Casa martelletti

Casa Martelletti Vermouth is the oldest known produced vermouth from Piedmont. The recipe hails from the 1700s and can be viewed in a museum in Cocconato, Italy. Vermouths were originally used for medicinal purposes, but now can be enjoyed as aperitifs or in classic and innovative cocktails alike.

Produced from 100% Moscato, it’s a medium-amber Vermouth with notes of dried herbs, bitter orange, vanilla, gentian, cinchona, and rhubarb. The Classico is lightly sweet and full bodied with a pleasantly bitter aftertaste of Artemisia.

Artimisia

The key ingredient in Vermouth, and also the source of the active ingredient in Absinthe, the family includes giant sagebrush (the Nevada state flower), tarragon and a host of ornamentals. Ranging from an pure ornamental to a culinary herb to a potent hallucinogenic to a deadly poison, the genus is one of wonder and danger!
