'A popular product in Italy and abroad, the Pio Cesare NV Vermouth di Torino opens to a dark copper or amber color. This is a fun and genuine expression, with candied almond, maple syrup, orange peel and medicinal herb. The blend of grapes at the bottom of this Vermouth is Chardonnay and Moscato, and you only just catch a fleeting glimpse of the floral aromas associated with the latter. This is a fun bottle for a creative mixologist. You might notice exotic hints of exotic spice or toasted cumin seed. Drink 2021-2035.' – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 93/100
'A mixture of 26 aromatic herbs, such as wormwood (which is German is translated as “vermouth”), marjoram leaves, gentian roots, orange zest and others, which all together compose our Family Recipe, is macerated for almost 40 days in a small blend of different Pio Cesare white wines and alcohol. We then add to this aromatic extract the right amount of our Chardonnay and part of our Moscato, a bit of sugar and alcohol.
The infusion is aged for at least 4 months in very small stainless-steel tanks. The Recipe is finally completed with the addition of burned sugar, which gives to our Vermouth its amber color and its distinctive aroma and taste.
'In order to better appreciate our Pio Cesare Vermouth, we suggest drinking it in the old “piemontese style”, sipping it with a slice of lemon zest.' – Pio Cesare

| Producer information | The historic family-owned Pio Cesare estate has been producing wine for 135 years, through 5 generations, in their ancient cellars in Alba. The cellars are built on the city’s 2,000-year-old ancient Roman walls. The family owns 70 hectares of vineyards, featuring high-quality hillside exposures, with parcels dotted around multiple communes of Barolo and Barbaresco. A visionary for quality, the late Pio Boffa transformed the company during his four decades as the head of the family business. Known to travel 200 days of the year, Pio was a global standard-bearer for Piedmont's wines. ‘I will carry on his legacy now with even more strength and energy and commitment,’ his daughter Federica Boffa promises. |
