Martini Riserva Speciale Rubino Vermouth 75 CL

Product Information

If you can tear your eyes away from the absolutely STUNNING interiors of HIDE, you’ll find yourself presented with some equally gorgeous drinks. And just for National Negroni Week they’ve got the truly unique Willy Wonka Negroni, which has to be tasted to be believed. Campari, shiitake mushroom infused gin, vermouth, and Cacao rum combine for a truly unforgettable take on the classic drink. This pizzeria is already a destination in its own right, given it comes from the award-winning, Chef’s Table-featured chef Nancy Silverton. But Pizzeria Mozza is giving hunger Londoners even more reason to chow down on their delicious pies, thanks to a month-long Negroni offering. Throughout September they’re serving up a Florentine pairing of Negroni and a delectable Italian tasting menu. You can try a classic Negroni, and some riffs, perfectly paired with the likes of roasted olives, meatballs al Forno, and a prosciutto, mozzarella di Bufala, and rucola pizza. Firstly, it’s hard to miss that this negroni is immediately a bit darker in the glass, owing to the Riserva Speciale Rubino vermouth, which is a very dark ruby/maroon in tone. It is immediately more soft and fruity on the nose and on the palate, with notes of ripe strawberry and raspberry, and a spice that reminds me somewhat of Angostura bitters. Actual bitterness is certainly less pronounced than it was in the negroni made with Campari, which suggests that the Riserva Speciale Bitter is less bitter overall. It’s also simultaneously more sweet, which combines with the character of the vermouth to highlight the juicy red fruit notes. Founded in 1863, the Martini brand maintains its quality through years of established craftsmanship, blending expert winemaking with the use of botanicals to create great taste. The botanicals bring floral, honeyed flavours which combine with the richness of the brand's winemaking. Unusually, the concentrated botanical extracts for each vermouth are rested in Piemontese Tino oak vats for over two months to harmonise their flavour and character. This is the first time Tino vats have been used at Martini for many decades but the practice was typical for the original Vermouth di Torino, including Martini. Indeed, the original Tino No.1 can still be seen when visiting Martini as it sits in the companys museum of wine. The use of Tino vats and the other lengthily processes used, means to make a batch of Martini Riserva Speciale takes over one year.

El Bandarra Spanish vermouths hail from Barcelona and are made using Spanish grapes Garnacha and Xarel-lo, plus Mediterranean botanicals. The cool typography bottle is inspired by the tradition of hand-painting the names of dishes onto the windows of tapas bars. The range includes a Blanco and Rojo but the vibrant Al Fresco, with its bright cherry and red berry fruit, grapefruit citrus freshness and herbal bitterness is our favourite. Pair it with tonic (one part vermouth and two parts tonic) for a refreshing summer cooler that will appeal to fans of the Aperol Spritz. Alc 14.5% Hawksmoor is getting into the spirit of things with their own Negroni offering for National Negroni Week. A competition between all of the Hawskmoor bars to create the next best Negroni was won by Martha Markham from Hawskmoor Liverpool, whose special offering will now be available from all Hawksmoor bars until September 24. The creation, Up the Garden Path, utilizes greengage-infused East London Gin, rosé vermouth, Beesou honey aperitif, and rose/hibiscus bitters. The Full Information to Candy White Vermouth (Blanc, Bianco, and Blanco) Vermouth (a complete tasting information) is the one complete information to this scrumptious dessert. Particular person regional guides can present extra in-depth details about regional kinds and really useful bottles. In case you’re new to vermouth, be taught extra about it in my introduction to vermouth put up. Brovo Fairly Blanc Floral has floral notes in addition to confectionary notes, leading to a nice bitterness. Comoz Blanc is sweetened with Agave nectar and labeled as Semi-Dry within the dry class. The botanicals are infused with the wine base and fortified with a impartial spirit, offering a strong basis for the wines. Bitter and confectionary, with notes of dry baking spice. I didn’t have high hopes for this venue as it is an indoor food market with a bar, but it turns out they have a special Negroni menu with a few options to choose from. Their Negroni was pretty much the same as at La Ménagère, but with Beefeater Gin. I was very pleased to see they used my fav Martini Rubino vermouth!

In addition to the Bitter being new to me, I’d never sampled this alternative M&R vermouth before, so I was equally curious for that opportunity. Producing vermouth since 1821, Dolin is the only remaining independent vermouth producer left in Chambéry, which is the only French region that has a DOC for its vermouths. Made using Alpine botanicals including wormwood, brooklime, rose and verbena, the range also includes sweeter blanc and rouge styles. Dolin Dry boasts citrus freshness, grape and lychee sweetness, dry herbal notes and some lip-smakcing salinity. Use equal parts Dry and Blanc to create a Perfect Gin Martini.

Meanwhile Martinis are made with dry white vermouth. Confusingly a ‘dry’ Martini is made with less dry vermouth and a ‘wet’ Martini with more dry vermouth. While a ‘perfect’ Martini is made with equal parts dry and sweet white vermouths. Exactly which vermouth to use is down to personal taste and your style of Martini: Gin or Vodka, a Dirty Martini, Vesper or Gibson. See below for some suggestions… Martini & Rossi … the old M&R. If you’ve ever bought vermouth, you surely know the name. You’ve seen the label in every liquor store, in every grocery store wine aisle. You likely think of it in the same way that I do—dependability, value, and yes, “averageness.” In 1970 and 1971 Martini together with Rossi supported the so-called "Ladies Football World Championships". These tournaments were entirely independent from FIFA and the common national soccer associations. They were held in Rome and in Mexico.

But unlike spirits, an opened bottle of vermouth will gradually oxidise and deteriorate over time. So pop your open bottle in the fridge and it will keep for up to three months. Best vermouths to try I’ve always liked this venue for their giant salads and burgers and outdoor seating on the square, but during my recent visit, I felt the quality of the food and drinks weren’t up to their usual standards. Specially for National Negroni Week, this neighbourhood restaurant has collaborated with Wiltshire’s Ramsbury Distillery to showcase three Negroni specials. Head on down to Fern to try the limited edition British Sbagliatio with Ramsbury Raspberry and Wildflower Honey Gin, Asterley Bros Estate Vermouth, and English Sparkling Wine from the Bolney Estate in Sussex. Or you could choose between the Negroni Sour (Ramsbury Single Estate Gin, Aperol, pineapple, lemon, and Ms. Better’s Bitters) and the Classic Negroni (Ramsbury Single Estate Gin, Cecielo Rosso, and Campari). Is anyone else considering just getting all three, and then rolling their way home? Martini has contracts with wine makers and cooperatives to produce the specific white wines required to make its vermouth. Luciano and his team all come from Alba, the Piedmontese capital of wine-making, which is considered to be one of the leading centres of oenology in Europe. Their task is to assess, select and blend the wines that will provide the body for Martini and allow the precious botanical characteristics to shine.

If you want to make your Martini with dry vermouth, here are seven of the best. An aromatic fortified wine made from herbs, roots, bark, and flowers is known as dry vermouth. A few can be used as a supporting actor to enhance the gin’s flavor, while others can be used as an added ingredient. The aroma of Ransom Dry Vermouth is aromatic and floral. There is a winery on Long Island that produces a limited-run dry vermouth. Despite the presence of menthol, this wine exhibits a strong, spiced, floral, and baked fruit aroma. Vya Extra Dry, a blend of white wine infused with dried herbs and flowers, is a wonderful addition to any wine collection.The intricately designed label of both Martini Riserva Speciale vermouths incorporate the royal arms of the House of Savoy, the Kings of which first protected the term Vermouth di Torino around 1840 to prevent producers outside of the Piemonte region using the name. Like other Martini vermouths, Riserva Speciale is based on all Italian wines with a large proportion sourced from the local Piemonte region, including small parcels of Langhe DOC Nebbiolo for the Rubino and Moscato d'Asti DOCG for the Ambrato. All the wines used were especially selected for these vermouths by Beppe Musso, Martini's Master Blender. One of the many processes used to capture the botanicals’ aromatic essence is the ‘tamburo’ – a huge cylindrical vat which very slowly turns a blend of botanicals in natural alcohol, making only two rotations a day. Any faster would impart overly bitter characters, so this stage of the process takes two to four weeks.
