History in a Bottle
A vermouth born where history lives.
In the heart of Turin, at Caffè Elena — a historic café since 1889 — time stands still and tradition is renewed. Created to celebrate the 135th anniversary, Vermuth Rosso – spelled in the old Piedmontese way – is a liquid homage to the timeless elegance of this symbolic place. Crafted by bartender Matias Griffa, this vermouth embodies the Turin spirit: classic, yet never ordinary.
The Essence of Vermouth
Selected botanicals. Lasting aroma. Turin identity.
Caffè Elena’s Vermuth Rosso is an aromatized wine made from:
- White wine, alcohol, sugar, natural infusions, and aromas.
- Signature botanicals: wormwood, sage, rhubarb, cardamom, ginger, acacia flowers, and saffron.
COLOR: deep red
ABV: 18% | Format: 750 ml
The result is a rich, balanced vermouth with a full texture — perfect enjoyed neat, over ice with an orange peel, or as the base for both classic and contemporary cocktails.
