MARTINI EXTRA DRY

Martini Extra Dry

MARTINI Extra Dry’s rare woods, herbs, citrus and raspberry extracts are the pillar of the 20th century’s defining drink: the Dry Martini cocktail. First introduced on New Year’s Day 1900, after 10 years of development by Luigi Rossi’s sons, MARTINI Extra Dry has at its heart the violet-scented tartness of Florentine Orris – iris roots grown for three years before being sun-dried. Its sharp citrus aromas and hints of raspberry became a pillar of the cocktail that dominated the century, the Dry Martini cocktail.

VARIETIES: Fortified Wine
REGION: Vino d’Italia, Italy
SERVE: The one and only MARTINI cocktail is a timeless classic ordered by everyone from Churchill to Hemingway. While the precise recipe is a matter of dispute, here is what we believe to be the perfect ratio
FITS TO: The exceptional crispness of a MARTINI Extra Dry cocktail stands up well to sharp, acidic flavours, and will cut straight through rich foods, such as oily fish. Try it teamed with the silvery, acidic richness of marinated sardines or anchovies

A PERFECT BLEND

Whether it’s the limited editions that celebrate our history or the time-honoured classics loved by bartenders the world over, every bottle of MARTINI starts with the wines, carefully selected from only the best harvests.

For our vermouth, we blend crisp white wines, including the Trebbiano of Emilia Romagna and the Cataratto of Sicily, together with carefully formulated combinations of aromatic fruit, barks, exotic spices and herbs, such as Artemisia – picked from the nearby fields of Pancalieri – to create MARTINI’s sought-after vermouths.
