The Story
Drapo Rosso is a traditional vermouth produced by Turin-based Turin Vermouth. As a Vermouth di Torino, it adheres to strict regional production standards, requiring it to be made in Piedmont using Italian wine fortified with alcohol and flavored primarily with Artemisia. This Rosso expression is built on a base of fine Italian white wine and sweetened with sugar and caramel, which provides its characteristic deep amber color and round mouthfeel.
The botanical blend is centered on wormwood, which provides the necessary bitterness to balance the sugar content. This is a classic Turin style that leans into a spice-forward profile rather than a purely herbal one. It is commonly used as a foundational component in cocktails like the Negroni or Manhattan, though it is also served neat or with a splash of soda to highlight the vinous quality of the base wine.
Tasting Notes The nose presents aromas of dark chocolate, cinnamon, and dried orange peel. The palate is sweet and full-bodied with notes of vanilla, toasted sugar, and a lingering herbal bitterness. The finish is persistent with hints of rhubarb and clove.
Available in our Copenhagen store or for delivery across the EU.
