Bianco vermouth is one of the most popular aperitivi in Italy, traditionally enjoyed on the rocks with a twist. This recipe originates with the family of Paola Rogai, Antica Torino’s beloved office manager. Paola’s great-uncle Carlin lived in the Monferrato area and worked for FIAT in Turin while making wine and vermouth from his family’s vineyards. Updating this recipe from the 1940s for modern use, Antica Torino presents a vermouth bianco with earnest origins and unique character, easily distinguished from its competitors while retaining mixing versatility.
