Martini & Rossi Extra Dry Vermouth 1.5L

Martini & Rossi Extra Dry Vermouth delivers a crisp, herb-infused fortified wine profile that anchors classic cocktails while remaining refined enough to serve as a standalone aperitif. Crafted in Italy from selection white grape varieties macerated with a proprietary reduction of artemisia, citrus peels, and aromatic botanicals, the 1.5-liter presentation ensures consistent flavor across every pour without frequent bottle replacements.

This extra dry variant is engineered for clarity and cut, keeping residual sugar near zero so the underlying botanical bitterness shines through mixed drinks. It works flawlessly as the foundation for gin martinis, dry gibsons, black manhattans, and stone fades, replacing sweeter styles that muddy high-ABV spirits. Maintain freshness by storing the bottle refrigerated once opened and finishing it within three to four weeks; cold temperatures slow oxidation and lock in the volatile essential oils responsible for the characteristic pine-and-lemon aroma.

Tasting Notes: Pale straw hue opens with a lean, dry body marked by bright citrus zest, dried thyme, and a faint sweetgrass undertone. The mid-palate feels structured yet smooth, fading into a clean, herbaceous finish that invites further sips rather than clinging heavily on the tongue.

Suggested Foods: Briny marinated olives and lightly roasted salted almonds amplify the vermouth’s saline-mineral tension. Mild soft cheeses like fresh ricotta, goat cheese, or young provolone balance its botanical bite. Grilled octopus, white-filletfish preparations, and charcuterie featuring prosciutto or speck complement the wine’s acidity and dry structure perfectly.
