MARTINI ROSSO

Martini Rosso

The original MARTINI, and our first love. When Luigi Rossi blended local botanicals to craft this scarlet-hued vermouth, he created an indisputable icon. While the exact recipe remains a closely guarded secret, this sweet vermouth’s intensely herbal character is the result of blending carefully chosen wines with a complex selection of Italian herbs, including sage, savory and dittany, and bitter-sweet exotic woods.

COLOUR: Deep, dark amber
AROMA: Rich and intense
TASTE: Complex an d balanced on the palate, stimulating, pleasantly bitter

VARIETIES: Fortified Wine
REGION: Vino d’Italia, Italy
SERVE: Conceived in the 1970s to refresh Luigi Rossi’s original recipe, this sparkling long drink is garnished with orange to lift its orange notes. Bitter-sweet and harmonious, the highly perfumed and herbal character of MARTINI Rosso is enhanced with plenty of ice and a 50/50 ratio of vermouth and tonic water, to create an intense, flavourful cocktail
FITS TO: The aromatic and herbal notes of MARTINI Rosso & Tonic balance perfectly with rich, salted nibbles. For a quick aperitif, pair it with a simple bowl of olives or salted almonds, or for something more substantial, try a cheese and charcuterie board with salami, cured hams and Pecorino cheese

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.
