Vermouth & Aperitif

Dolin Vermouth de Chambery Dry — Savoie, France 750ml

The benchmark of French dry vermouth — Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry Dry has been crafted in the Alpine town of Chambéry since 1821, earning its place as the go-to vermouth for discerning bartenders and home mixologists worldwide. Light, floral, and impeccably balanced, it elevates every cocktail it touches without ever overpowering.

The Producer

Founded in 1821, Dolin is one of the oldest and most respected vermouth houses in France, and the only producer still based in Chambéry — the historic heartland of French vermouth. Their Dry expression is made from a delicate white wine base infused with more than 30 Alpine herbs and botanicals, selected and blended using traditional methods that have remained largely unchanged for two centuries. Dolin holds the coveted IGP Vermouth de Chambéry designation, the only vermouth appellation in France.

Tasting Profile

Pale straw with a luminous clarity. The nose is delicate and aromatic — fresh Alpine herbs, white flowers, citrus zest, and subtle spice. On the palate it’s light, clean, and refreshingly dry with a complex yet understated botanical character and a crisp, lingering finish. Elegant rather than assertive — the hallmark of great dry vermouth.

Cocktail Applications

• Classic Martini: The gold standard — Dolin’s light profile lets the gin or vodka shine while adding essential complexity
• Fifty-Fifty Martini: Equal parts gin and Dolin Dry for a more vermouth-forward, nuanced cocktail
• Spritz: Over ice with a splash of soda and a lemon twist for a refreshing aperitif
• On its own: Chilled, over ice with a citrus twist — a classic French aperitif style
• Cooking: Adds depth to sauces, risottos, and seafood dishes

Perfect Pairings

Serve chilled as an aperitif alongside raw shellfish, oysters, goat cheese, pesto, or light seafood. Its freshness and herbal complexity make it a natural companion to delicate, clean flavors.

Refrigerate after opening and consume within 2–3 weeks for optimal freshness.

Noilly Prat Extra Dry — The Original French Dry Vermouth

Created in Marseillan, France in 1813, Noilly Prat is the vermouth that defined the category — and remains the benchmark against which all others are measured.

Crafted from a blend of Picpoul and Clairette grapes aged in oak, then infused with 14 hand-selected herbs and spices sourced from around the world — including chamomile, Moroccan coriander, Tunisian bitter orange peel, and Italian orris root. The result is a vermouth of remarkable depth: floral and aromatic on the nose, with a clean, dry, subtly bitter palate and a long, elegant finish.

Created by Antonio Benedetto Carpano in Turin in 1786, this is the vermouth that started it all: the ancient formula that defined the category, inspired generations of bartenders, and remains the gold standard for sweet vermouth to this day. Every detail of production reflects that heritage: white wines from Romagna, Puglia, and Sicily are processed within 24 hours of harvest to prevent oxidation; botanical ingredients are extracted by hot infusion or cold extraction over months of precise, lengthy processing; and the final blend undergoes a refining stage of several more months to allow every herb and spice to fully integrate.

Cocchi Vermouth di Torino Extra Dry — Piedmont, Italy 500ml

Released to mark Cocchi’s 130th anniversary, Vermouth di Torino Extra Dry is a landmark expression from the birthplace of vermouth itself. Labeled “Ricetta Piemontese” — Piedmontese Recipe — every relevant ingredient in this vermouth comes exclusively from Piemonte, reflecting a deep and uncompromising bond with the region. While classic dry vermouths were traditionally the domain of Southeast France, Cocchi has crafted a distinctly Piedmontese answer to the category — and it is exceptional.

The wine base is Cortese, the same grape behind Gavi DOCG, lending a crisp, mineral freshness. Artemisia Absinthium (wormwood) sourced 100% from the Piedmont mountains provides the aromatic backbone, while Menta di Pancalieri — a local peppermint variety — and lemon round out the profile with bright, herbaceous lift.

A vermouth unlike any other — Gonzalez Byass La Copa Rojo Sweet is built on a Cream Sherry base rather than traditional wine, drawing on nearly two centuries of sherry-making expertise from Jerez, Spain. Founded in 1835, Gonzalez Byass brings a distinctly Andalusian character to the vermouth category: smooth, velvety, and richly aromatic in a way that standard vermouths simply can’t replicate.

The base is a blend of 75% Palomino and 25% Pedro Ximénez (PX) grapes, infused with six botanicals — wormwood, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, orange peel, and savory. The nose is intensely spiced, with clove and cinnamon at the fore. On the palate it’s lush and velvety, the natural sweetness of the PX balanced by an elegant, lingering bitterness.

Carpano Antica Formula Sweet Vermouth — Turin, Italy | 16.5% ABV | Half Bottle 375ml

Carpano Antica Formula is the original sweet vermouth — and arguably the most important bottle in the history of the cocktail. Created by Antonio Benedetto Carpano in Turin in 1786, this is the vermouth that started it all: the ancient formula that defined the category, inspired generations of bartenders, and remains the gold standard for sweet vermouth to this day. Produced from the Carpano Distillery’s original 18th-century recipe, bottled in a faithful reproduction of the original label and bottle with traditional cork and red wax seal, Antica Formula is as much a piece of history as it is a drink. Wine Enthusiast awarded it 95 points.

The nose is rich, fruity, and deeply enticing: fig, dried cherries, faint spiced gingerbread, and bitter orange peel, all warmed by a signature hint of vanilla that sets Antica Formula apart from every other sweet vermouth on the market. On the palate, it is lush and complex — drinkable solo over ice as an aperitif, or as the non-negotiable ingredient in a proper Negroni or Manhattan. The 375ml half bottle is the perfect format for home bartenders who want the real thing without committing to a full bottle.

Starlino Rosso — Vermouth di Torino, Piedmont, Italy

Hotel Starlino is inspired by the architecture and spirit of Torino Distillati — a historic distillery located just outside of Turin, the birthplace of Aperitivo and the spiritual home of Vermouth di Torino. The Starlino recipe was created by Denis Muni and Beppe Ronco, both natives of the Piedmont region who have worked at Torino Distillati for over 20 years, bringing deep expertise and genuine passion to the craft of traditional Italian vermouth. Starlino Rosso is a Vermouth di Torino in the classic tradition — crafted with a meticulous blend of botanicals including wormwood, clove, and orange peel — with one distinctive twist: it is aged in Kentucky Bourbon barrels, which impart a rich, warm, spicy depth that sets it apart from any other vermouth on the market. The result is a vermouth of extraordinary complexity: sweet and bitter in perfect balance, with a warmth and roundness that makes it as compelling sipped neat over ice as it is in a Negroni or Manhattan.

The color is deep, rich ruby. The nose is aromatic and inviting: warm spice, dried orange peel, clove, and wormwood, with a subtle vanilla and oak undercurrent from the bourbon barrel aging. On the palate, it is lush and full-bodied — a delightful balance of sweet and bitter notes, with layers of botanical complexity and a long, warming finish. Serve over ice with an orange twist, or use as the backbone of a world-class Negroni or Manhattan.

Casa Mariol Negre Vermut — Catalonia, Spain (1 Liter)

Casa Mariol is one of Catalonia's most distinctive vermouth producers, crafting their Negre Vermut in the traditional Spanish style from the Terra Alta region — a rugged, windswept appellation known for its old-vine Macabeu. The base wine is 100% Macabeu, infused with wild field herbs and unripe green walnuts, then aged in a 60-year-old solera — a process that builds extraordinary depth, complexity, and continuity from one vintage to the next. One of the defining characteristics of Casa Mariol's approach is the very low use of caramel, resulting in a lighter, more fragrant, and more spicy vermouth with greater balance than most — equally at home drunk straight as it is in cocktails.

The nose is herbal and aromatic: thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, and warm spice, with a subtle nuttiness from the green walnut infusion. On the palate, the vermouth is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced — fragrant and spicy up front, with a clean, pleasantly bitter finish and lingering notes of caramel and dried herbs. In Spain, vermouth is drunk neat with a slice of orange and an olive. This is how Casa Mariol recommends it too. It is also exceptional in cocktails or lengthened with ginger ale or soda. Salud!

"One of the main differences between this and other vermouths is the very low use of caramel. This results in a lighter, more fragrant and spicy vermouth with greater balance and complexity — better suited to drinking straight as well as mixing in cocktails."

• Producer: Casa Mariol, Terra Alta, Catalonia, Spain
• Base Wine: 100% Macabeu
• Style: Negre (Red) Vermouth
• Infusion: Wild field herbs & unripe green walnuts
• Aging: 60-year-old solera
• Size: 1 Liter
• Best Served: Neat with orange slice & olive, or in cocktails with ginger ale or soda

A solera-aged Catalan vermouth from 100% Macabeu — Casa Mariol Negre is the benchmark for what traditional Spanish vermouth, made with wild herbs and minimal caramel, can deliver in a glass.

Winemaker Description 

Made using wines made with 50% Garnacha Blanca and 50% Xarello grapes, El Bandarra Vermut Bianco is infused with more that 40 botanicals to create its complex bittersweet character.

Producer Description

With a deep yellow color, Yzaguirre Blanco Reserva Vermouth is highly aromatic, velvety and pleasant on the palate, with woody, herby and spicy notes reminiscent of ripe fruit. Its initial flavor is very tasty and balanced, in perfect harmony with its acidity. Twelve months in oak barrels give it consistency and character.

Great as an everyday aperitif or early evening drink. Excellent in a long drink with a few drops of Campari, 3 or 4 ice cubes, a slice of orange, a twist of orange peel and fresh mint leaves. Perfect for use in the kitchen to add another dimension to your dishes.

Memo Summary Notes

That is a great choice! The Yzaguirre DRY RESERVA Vermouth WHITE is a distinctive and highly-regarded Spanish vermouth, known for its unique aging process which sets it apart from typical dry vermouths.

The oak aging softens the vermouth and adds complexity that you don't find in stainless-steel-aged dry vermouths, making it excellent for sipping or mixing.

Winemaker Description 

This Vermouth uses a mixture of 26 aromatic herbs such as marjoram leaves, gentian roots, orange zest and others, which all together compose our family recipe. We then add a blend of different Pio Cesare white wines, including our Moscato d’Asti. After a 15-day maceration, the Vermouth obtained is aged in oak barrels for at least 4 months. The Recipe is finally completed with the addition of caramel, which gives our Vermouth its light color, and its distinctive aroma and taste. In order to better appreciate our Pio Cesare Vermouth, we recommend drinking it in the old “piemontese style”, sipping it with no ice, but just a little slice of lemon zest.

Expert Review

Robert Parker 90+ Points | The NV Vermouth di Torino is based on Chardonnay but is infused and aromatized with cloves, cinnamon, quinine, citrus peel, ginger, nutmeg, marjoram and other secret ingredients that were written down on a piece of paper in 1952 and kept under lock and key ever since. The folks at Pio Cesare did well to bring this traditional recipe for Vermouth back into circulation. This is an ideal aperitivo drink that can be served on ice with a slice of lemon. It opens to a bright orange-gold color and offers a complicated bouquet that recalls the many aromatic ingredients used in the infusion. The fishing is sweet, but not excessively so.

Noilly Prat · Rouge Vermouth · Marseillan, Languedoc · France

Since 1813, Noilly Prat has been crafting vermouth in Marseillan — a sun-drenched village on the shores of the Étang de Thau lagoon in the Languedoc, where the Mediterranean climate and sea air are as much a part of the recipe as the botanicals themselves. The world's most storied vermouth house, Noilly Prat pioneered the art of outdoor aging: their base wines spend months in oak barrels under the open sky, exposed to the sun, salt air, and seasonal temperature swings that give Noilly Prat its singular oxidative depth and complexity. Their Rouge is a sweeter, richer expression — a blend of Languedoc wines infused with 20 hand-selected herbs and spices, including bitter orange peel, nutmeg, and gentian — that has been a cornerstone of the French aperitif tradition for over two centuries. At $18.99, it's one of the most versatile and rewarding bottles you can keep behind the bar.

Deep ruby-amber in the glass with an inviting nose of dried cherry, vanilla, warm spice, and a hint of orange zest. On the palate: lush and semi-sweet with flavors of ripe red fruit, caramel, cinnamon, and a pleasantly bitter herbal finish that keeps it from being cloying. Serve chilled over ice as a classic aperitif, use it to build a perfect Manhattan or Negroni, or simply enjoy it as the French do — with a slice of orange and a handful of olives.
