MARTINI Riserva Speciale Rubino Vermouth 18%

Named after the Italian for ruby, rubino, this Vermouth di Torino was created using a blend of wines including a large proportion of wines sourced from the local Piemonte region, with the addition of small parcels of Langhe DOC Nebbiolo, which were specifically selected by Beppe Musso, Martini’s master blender.

The concentrated botanical extracts for each vermouth are rested in Piemontese Tino oak vats for over two months, which is a practice that has not been favoured for many decades, although it was typical for the original vermouth di Torino, including Martini.

Nose: succulent red berries, prickles of black pepper, some herbal aromas and faint sandlewood round the nose.

Palate: faint woody tannins complement dry wormwood among the fruity red berries.
