Sweet Vermouth

A fortified, aromatized wine with rich, sweet flavor of dried fruit, vanilla, and spice. Sweeter and fuller-bodied than dry vermouth, sweet vermouth is essential in the Manhattan, Negroni, and Americano. Italian-style (rosso) vermouths like Carpano Antica and Martini Rosso are the standards.

Flavor Profile

Rich, spiced nose with dried cherry, vanilla, caramel, and herbal bitterness. Palate is sweet with complex botanicals, dark fruit, and gentle wormwood. Long, bittersweet, warming finish.
