Alessio Vermouth di Torino Rosso

Alessio Vermouth di Torino Rosso is a beautifully crafted Italian sweet vermouth that revives the elegance of late-19th-century Turin aperitivo culture. Rich yet balanced, it offers layered herbal bitterness, subtle sweetness, and deep botanical complexity—making it equally compelling sipped on its own or mixed into classic cocktails like the Negroni and Manhattan. Designed in the spirit of a traditional “Vino di Lusso” (luxury wine), it delivers both sophistication and versatility.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Alessio Vermouth di Torino Rosso is produced in Piedmont, Italy, following the historic traditions of Vermouth di Torino, a protected style of aromatized wine originating from the city of Turin. The vermouth is built on a base of fine Piedmontese wine, which is fortified and infused with a complex blend of botanicals.

Inspired by late-19th-century vermouth recipes, the formula includes both Grande and Petite Wormwood, the traditional bittering agents that define classic vermouth. In total, the recipe incorporates more than 25 herbs, roots, and spices, creating an intricate aromatic profile that reflects the heritage of Turin’s historic vermouth houses.

Bottled at approximately 17% ABV, the vermouth balances sweetness, herbal bitterness, and wine structure—resulting in a dense, full-bodied profile that gives weight and character to cocktails while still remaining enjoyable on its own as an aperitif.
