Description
Napoleone Rossi di Montelera, whose grandfather started Martini & Rossi - the famous wine and spirit company, bought the Torre a Cona estate in 1935. Today this Tuscan estate, located in the hills 10 km outside of Florence, is run by Napoleone's grandchildren Ludovica, Niccolò and Leonardo.
In 2022 Niccolò Rossi di Montelera entrusted the selection of the recipe to be recreated from the historic family book to the expert technical guidance of Piero Cane. The original recipe from 1920 is the soul of this unique Vermouth, where the skilful mix of 33 herbs, and a careful selection of Torre a Cona’s Sangiovese cru enhance a range of extraordinary taste sensations.

Taste
Warm aromas of maraschino cherry and aged wood spice are highlighted by fresh mint notes and bright orange zest. Rich cherry fruit sprinkled with savoury spices carry onto the finish where zesty citrus flavours appear. Generously weighted, this vermouth is well suited for after-dinner contemplation.

Food Matching
Great as a digestif. Also pairs well with charcuterie, aged and strong cheeses (aged cheddar, blue cheese, gorgonzola) and chocolate desserts.
