Italian vermouth from Carpano in Turin, this dry expression follows the vermouth tradition of fortified wine infused with botanicals, herbs, and spices. Carpano has been making vermouth since 1786, and this dry version strips back the sweetness of its sweeter siblings to emphasize the aromatic complexity underneath.
The nose carries herbal notes with subtle citrus and spice, while the palate stays clean and bracing with the characteristic bitter-herbal backbone vermouth drinkers seek. It works beautifully in a Martini or Negroni, where its dryness won't overshadow the spirit, and stands equally well as an aperitif over ice with a twist of lemon.
