The history of vermouth dates back to the 18th century, when the first flavoured wines were developed in Italy and France. The name ‘Vermouth’ is derived from the German word ‘Wermut’, a plant traditionally used to flavour vermouth. In Italy, Turin and Piedmont were the birthplaces of modern vermouth, whilst in France the Chambéry region played an important role.

Over the years, vermouth developed into a popular drink, enjoyed both as an aperitif and as a cocktail ingredient. Famous brands such as Martini & Rossi, Cinzano and Noilly Prat established themselves and set standards in quality and taste.

Vermouth can also be used in cooking to add a special touch to dishes. Try vermouth in sauces for fish and poultry dishes, in marinades for meat, or in desserts such as vermouth jelly with fresh fruit.

Vermouth should be served chilled or at room temperature, depending on the style and your personal taste. Use suitable glasses to bring out the flavours to their best advantage. Dry vermouth is excellent for classic cocktails such as the Martini and the Gibson, whilst sweet vermouth is ideal for the Negroni and the Manhattan. Blanc and rosé vermouth can be enjoyed neat over ice or as an aperitif.

Vermouth is produced by flavouring wine with a variety of herbs, spices and plant extracts. Commonly used ingredients include wormwood, gentian, coriander, cinnamon and citrus peel. The wine is also fortified with alcohol to stabilise the flavours and extend its shelf life. Vermouth comes in various styles, ranging from dry (Dry Vermouth) to sweet (Sweet Vermouth).

The production of vermouth begins with the selection of a high-quality wine as a base. The wine is fortified with alcohol and then flavoured with a blend of herbs, spices and plant extracts. This mixture is left to macerate for a certain period of time to allow the flavours to develop. After maceration, the vermouth is filtered and bottled.
