For those seeking authentic Turin vermouth beyond mass-market options or cocktail enthusiasts demanding quality ingredients, 1757 Rosso delivers historic excellence in generous liter format.
Cinzano's history began in 1757 when brothers Giovanni Giacomo and Carlo Stefano Cinzano opened their shop in Turin. This commemorative series honors those origins with uncompromising quality. Superior red wines from Piedmont provide rich base while extended botanical maceration extracts maximum complexity. The recipe returns to original proportions—more herbs, less sugar than modern versions—creating vermouth closer to 18th-century originals. Traditional botanicals include artemisia, gentian, coriander, and cardamom, enhanced with vanilla and citrus. Patient aging allows complete integration before bottling.
The 1757 Rosso experience justifies premium positioning. Deep ruby color promises richness confirmed on palate. The nose presents immediate complexity—dried herbs mingle with orange peel, vanilla, and exotic spices. Wine character shows through with notes of dried cherries and subtle tannins. On the palate, sophisticated balance impresses. Sweetness is present but restrained, allowing botanical complexity to shine. Wormwood provides essential bitterness balanced by warming spices—cinnamon, cardamom, clove. The wine base contributes structure and fruit notes while herbs create layers of interest. Mid-palate brings chocolate hints, candied orange, and mysterious roots. The finish extends with perfect sweet-bitter balance and lingering spice. This quality transforms cocktails—Negronis gain depth, Manhattans achieve elegance. Served neat over ice with orange, it's proper Italian aperitif. The liter format recognizes quality vermouth deserves generous pours.
