Its main characteristic is the breadth of flavours it offers, ranging from sweet and floral to spicy and bitter. Vermouth has a history that dates back to ancient Greece, but it was in Italy and Spain where it achieved great popularity.

Origins and history

The origins of vermouth date back to ancient Greece, where wines flavoured with medicinal herbs were already being made. However, it was in Italy, in the mid-18th century, where vermouth achieved its greatest popularity. In the city of Turin, the recipes were born that gave rise to the sweet and red vermouths that are still enjoyed worldwide today.

Sweet Vermouth: Also known as red vermouth, it contains between 130 and 150 grams of sugar per liter, which gives it a sweet flavor that is balanced with herbal and spicy notes. It's ideal to enjoy on its own or in more complex cocktails.

What is vermouth made of? Composition and Preparation

The composition and preparation of vermouth are meticulous processes that result in a complex and aromatic drink, ideal for any occasion. The selection of the ingredients is crucial to achieve a unique aromatic profile.

Key Ingredients

Wine Base: The main base of vermouth is the wine, which gives it structure and body. The choice of this wine is fundamental for the personality of the vermouth. In Italy, varieties such as Moscatel, Trebbiano and Nebbiolo are commonly used, while in Spain, Pedro Ximénez and Macabeo add a distinctive character to the blend.
Herb and Spice Blend: An essential aspect of vermouth making is the blending of herbs, spices and other botanicals, known as "botanicals." Among the most common are:
- Wormwood: The herb that defines the characteristic flavor of vermouth.
- Bitter orange peel: Provides a citrus and bitter touch.
- Elderflowers: Add a delicate floral aroma.
- Anise: Provides a spicy and sweet touch.
- Ginger: Adds freshness and a spicy touch.
- Gentian root: Contributes to the balanced bitterness.
- Licorice: Provides a deep and sweet flavor.
- Various spices: Such as mint, oregano and chamomile, which enrich the complexity of the drink.

Production Process

The production of vermouth follows an artisanal process that is divided into several key stages: maceration, blending and bottling.

First, the maceration of the botanicals takes place in the base wine, allowing the flavors and aromas to integrate. The length of this maceration varies depending on the recipe and the desired style.

The sweetness and bitterness levels are then adjusted by the addition of sugars and other ingredients. Once the ideal profile has been achieved, the vermouth is filtered to remove any herbal residue and bottled.

Some vermouths are aged in barrels to add depth and complexity to their flavours before reaching the market, ensuring a high-quality final product.

This has given rise to new varieties of vermouth with unconventional flavours, appealing to a young audience eager for new experiences. In addition, mixing vermouth with other liquors in exclusive cocktails has gained popularity, creating refreshing and surprising combinations.
