Organic red vermouth wine
This is one of the most interesting and typical Italian fine wines. Traditional spellings of its name include Vermouth, Wermouth, or Wermuth. The origin of the name is uncertain, although in general it is related to the German Wermuth, “wormwood” (Arthemisia absinthium). Its fame originated in Piedmont and is owed to Antonio Benedetto Carpano, who first produced it in 1786 and “launched” it in his shop in the heart of Turin. In 1838 the brothers Giuseppe and Luigi Cora first exported it. By the end of the nineteenth century, Vermouth was widely exported to South America, the United States and all of Europe.
