The oldest vermouth in Valencia, made under the same formula devised by Benedetto Valsangiacomo as the 3 rd Generation of the family, at the beginning of the last century. Today the 5 th Generation of the Valsangiacomo family recovers the original Vermouth Vittore label as a tribute to the origins of this aperitif.
This red Vermouth shows a bright dark color, balsamic aromas of Mediterranean herbs such as oregano, fennel and thyme, a touch of licorice and the freshness of citrus. There is a nice balance in the mouth between acidity and sweetness. Beautiful flavors of cinnamon, licorice and cloves and a pleasant bitter herbal finish.
Ideal as an aperitif, on the rocks with an orange slice.
Also very good with cured and pickled products.
Here are some mixer ideas:
Negroni (a James Bond favorite) - equal parts of red vermouth, Campari & gin, served over ice with a slice of orange. A wonderful quaff!
Media combinacion (a Madrid classic) - two parts red vermouth and one part gin, served over ice with a twist of lemon and optional spritz of soda.
Vermouth Spanish style - red or white vermouth on the rocks with a twist and a splash of soda.
"This tawny-hued vermouth has a mild scent and restrained palate. Dried cherry and dried fig notes lead into orange peel and spice; the finish fades quickly."
