The story
Origin and evolution
Aromatized wines have ancient roots, but commercial sweet vermouth emerged around Turin in the eighteenth century.
Its wine base made it softer and more perishable than distilled modifiers, yet uniquely complex.
The Manhattan and Negroni made sweet vermouth indispensable to the classic cocktail canon.
