Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Giuseppe Giusti Vermouth is a red Vermouth di Torino crafted from Italian white and red wines, most notably Lambrusco. The spirit undergoes an artisanal maceration with nineteen botanicals, including wormwood, rhubarb, sweet orange, and rosemary. Displaying an intense ruby-red colour, it presents a rich bouquet of sweet spices, candied citrus, and vanilla. On the palate, the profile is smooth and velvety, balanced by a distinct sweet-and-sour edge and delicate woody tones. With an alcohol content of 17% ABV, it is best served neat at 8–10°C or used as an aromatic foundation for classic cocktails such as a Negroni or Manhattan.
Geographical origin
Hailing from Modena in Emilia-Romagna, this vermouth is produced by Giuseppe Giusti. The recipe is rooted in local gastronomic culture, drawing on historical expertise in balsamic production. The character of this spirit is defined by the addition of saba, a cooked grape must that provides natural sweetness. Resting in casks previously used for balsamic vinegar imparts a unique complexity to the liquid. This pronounced balsamic influence creates a fascinating harmony on the palate. Its herbal freshness and sweet spices make it a versatile pairing for mature cheeses, rich cured meats, and dark chocolate desserts.
Production process
Production begins with the artisanal maceration of botanicals, aromatic roots, and spices in alcohol. This infusion combines marjoram, thyme, vanilla, and nutmeg to build a complex tasting base. The natural sweetness is adjusted by blending the liquid with saba before the maturation phase. The spirit undergoes a slow maturation within ancient Aceto Balsamico di Modena barriques from the Gran Deposito Giuseppe Giusti. This prolonged contact with historic wood imparts deep woody nuances and a long, aromatic finish. The resulting drink achieves a refined harmony, merging herbal bitterness with a sophisticated sweet-and-sour complexity.
History and Heritage
Giuseppe Giusti Vermouth embodies the rich legacy of Acetaia Giusti, which was established in Modena in 1600. This Vermouth di Torino PGI marries the art of winemaking with balsamic tradition through slow maturation in ancient Aceto Balsamico di Modena barriques. Blending Italian wines, such as Lambrusco, with nineteen botanicals, this artisanal creation is elegantly sweetened with saba. This historic Emilia-Romagna recipe transforms local tradition into a velvety classic, delivering deep woody notes that elevate your aperitifs with an unforgettable sweet-and-sour complexity.
