Description
What kind of spirit is this
Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino is an aromatised wine crafted in Piedmont at 16% ABV. As an authentic Vermouth di Torino, it features a light wine base infused with wormwood, citrus, cinchona bark, and rhubarb. The profile is beautifully balanced, pairing a bitter core with the round sweetness of caramelised sugar. The palate reveals vibrant notes of bitter orange and cocoa, leading to a persistent balsamic finish with clear hints of camphor and rosemary.
Geographical origin
Hailing from Piedmont, Italy, this vermouth is produced in Cocconato, in the Asti area. This region perfectly captures the essence of Vermouth di Torino, combining quality wine with the historic practice of infusing botanical extracts. The local style places wormwood and citrus at the heart of the profile, establishing a firm bitter backbone through cinchona and rhubarb. Cocchi has used this recipe since 1891, preserving a Piedmontese heritage defined by aromatic depth and controlled sweetness.
How it is produced
The process begins with a white wine base, aromatised through a meticulous infusion of herbs, spices, and noble balsamic woods. Subtle additions of sandalwood, moss, myrrh, and nutmeg create a highly complex bouquet. Sweetness is achieved using browned sugar, imparting an amber colour and a distinctive spun-sugar character. This technique naturally softens the bitter botanicals without the need for vanilla. Highly versatile, it is excellent neat over ice with lemon, or as a base for classic mixed drinks such as the Negroni and Manhattan.
History and Heritage
Produced in Piedmont since 1891, this historic aromatised wine honours Giulio Cocchi’s original recipe, reflecting the authentic heritage of the House of Savoy. A defining feature is the use of caramelised sugar, which deepens its brilliant amber colour while lending a crisp sweetness without the need for vanilla. Revered by leading bartenders worldwide, it remains an essential choice for international high-end mixing.
