Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Berto Vermouth di Torino Bianco Superiore by Quaglia is an aromatic white vermouth from Piedmont, made with a base of Cortese wine, infused with botanicals and matured in wine casks. It features a structured profile defined by the distinct bitterness of wormwood. This sharpness is expertly balanced by a delicate sweetness, revealing spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg alongside floral hints of rose and lemon balm. Ideal for an elegant aperitif, it offers an intense, persistent finish that is excellent neat or as a component in classic cocktails like the 20th Century.
Geographical origin
Produced in Castelnuovo Don Bosco, Piedmont, this expression is deeply rooted in the region’s winemaking heritage. Quaglia crafts this Vermouth di Torino using a historic recipe that emphasises the character of the Cortese grape. The distillery maintains a distinctive Piedmontese profile by using authentic local ingredients. A careful selection of wine and botanicals ensures a harmonious balance between its signature bitterness and refined aromatic spices.
Production process
The production process involves a slow infusion of herbs, spices, and flowers into the wine base. A precise selection of botanicals, including ginger, sage, turmeric, and lime, creates a complex bittersweet structure. After infusion, the liquid is matured in wine casks to integrate the flavours and soften the palate. This resting period rounds out the profile, resulting in a structured drink that retains its aromatic intensity, making it a sophisticated choice for a refined aperitif.
History and Heritage
Crafted in Piedmont by the fourth-generation Antica Distilleria Quaglia, this premium vermouth is a remarkable tribute to the region’s heritage. Based on a historic recipe passed down through four generations, it pays homage to the classic traditions of Turin. The family-run distillery, originating in Castelnuovo Don Bosco, has been officially certified organic since 2018, preserving its authentic craftsmanship over the decades.
