Winemaker Notes
This Vermouth Naturale from Liquorificio Franco stands out for its balance between natural sweetness and bitter complexity. Made from Moscato wine, it has enough sweetness to minimizes the need for added sugar, letting the grapes define its smooth character.
Wormwood takes center stage, with a strong herbal and bitter note that shapes the profile. The spicy hints of tonka bean and mace blend with bitter orange peel, creating a fresh, citrusy contrast. Aloe and centaury add a deeper bitter layer, while peppermint brings a touch of freshness.
On the palate, the vermouth is bold and layered. Angelica root, rhubarb, and cinchona bark contribute structure and complexity. Elderflower and vanilla soften the bitterness with sweetness, providing balance.
The finish is dry, long, and harmonious, with a herbal and bitter note that invites another sip. Perfect enjoyed neat or as a base for cocktails that demand character and authenticity.
Story
Vermouth has its origins in Turin, Piedmont, dating back to the late 18th century. This vermouth comes from Monte Amiata, and is produced with only natural aromas, nothing fake or synthetic as most are. The production process involves selecting fine local wines and infusing them with a carefully curated blend of botanicals, many of which are native to the region themselves.
This meticulous approach results in a totally different and pleasant vermouth that doesn’t leave you with a bad taste in your mouth and a headache the next day.
