In the glass, the colour unfolds like a sunset over the hills of Piedmont – a gentle pink that hides cloves, cinnamon and a distant scent of roses. Martini Rosato is vermouth's answer to spring, set against a backdrop of heavier, sweeter wines.
Expert's Description
Martini Rosato Vermouth is an Italian vermouth from Martini & Rossi in Turin, made from a base of white and red wine infused with natural herbs and spices, with an alcohol strength of 15%. The house of Martini & Rossi was founded in 1863 by Alessandro Martini, Teofilo Sola and Luigi Rossi, who took over an existing wine business in Pessione outside Turin and turned vermouth into an international success. Martini Rosato was introduced in the early 1980s as the only expression in the Martini range to combine both white and red wine, and the product gained particular momentum when it launched in the United Kingdom in 2007 amid the growing popularity of rosé wine.
The vermouth is spiced with a botanical blend that includes cloves from Madagascar, cinnamon from Sri Lanka and nutmeg, while a touch of raspberry, lemon and rose gives it its characteristic pink colour and soft, aromatic style.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The aroma recalls mulled wine, with clove, cinnamon, aniseed and black pepper, layered with dried herbs and a hint of rose.
Palate
On the palate it's soft and spiced with floral sweetness, where rose and woodland notes intertwine with a light bitterness.
Finish
The finish is long and warm, with lingering spice and a delicate, dry close.
