Description
What kind of spirit is this
Berto Vermouth di Torino Rosso Superiore by Distilleria Quaglia is a sweet aromatised wine from Piedmont, Italy, crafted from Barbera d’Asti and Cortese. Displaying a deep brown hue, it offers a refined profile led by distinct wormwood aromas. The palate provides a rich structure, harmonising balsamic botanical notes such as juniper and mint with hints of soft vanilla. Concluding with a slightly bitter finish, this vermouth is exceptional served neat over ice or as the base for a classic cocktail.
Where it comes from
Originating from Piedmont, Italy, this vermouth reflects the historic style of Vermouth di Torino. By uniting the intensity of Barbera d’Asti with the freshness of Cortese, Berto roots its recipe in regional viticulture. This approach ensures a balanced interplay between the underlying vinous structure, natural sweetness, and herb-driven bitterness. The careful selection of ingredients guarantees a precise aromatic character, establishing a genuine Piedmontese identity that honours the renowned aromatised wines of the region.
How it is produced
Production relies on a sixty-day botanical infusion, allowing herbs and spices to gently release their aromas into the base wine. Following this extraction, the botanicals are pressed and blended with Piedmontese wine, alcohol, and sugar. The vermouth then undergoes a slow maturation phase in stainless steel tanks, stabilising the profile and preserving its clarity of flavour. Best served between sixteen and eighteen degrees Celsius, it reaches its full potential poured over ice with an orange twist, or as a foundational ingredient in a Negroni Superiore.
