Buy Vermouth
Vermouth is a neutral wine with a low alcohol content, which is macerated with wormwood together with other botanicals, and then sugar or caramel, to aromatize and achieve a balance between bitter, sweet and acid flavors. With a very wide range of ingredients, this alcoholic drink admits great nuances and possible combinations. Here you can find our best Spanish varieties, from Catalonia and Jerez.
Vermouth elaboration process
The process of making vermouth starts with a neutral wine with a low alcohol content, generally white, which is mixed with a mixture of plants, roots, herbs and spices, mainly wormwood, to macerate and rest in wooden barrels for a period of time ranging from three months to a year, in the case of reserves. This contact between the wine and the botanists is known as the aromatization process.
At the same time, the sweetening of the liquor is carried out, by adding sugar or caramel, depending on how sweet the final result is desired. Finally, the wine is filtered to eliminate the botanicals and impurities, and then bottled.
The different types of vermouth
There are different types of vermouth, whose distinctive characteristics vary depending on the different production processes used in their place of origin, as well as on the ingredients or botanicals used in each case.
As for the origin, while Italian vermouths tend to be distinguished by their sweetness, the Spanish tend to be more spicy and a little less sweet, while the French are directly bitter and not so spicy.
In general terms, there are four types of vermouth: red vermouth, white vermouth, dry vermouth and pink vermouth.
Red or Black Vermouth
In the case of black or red vermouth, it is the caramel that gives it the darkest colour, while in the white vermouth, bleaching charcoal is used to maintain a transparent colour. In Spain, the red vermouth is the most common type, and it is usually much sweeter than the one in Italy, which tends to be more bitter.
White Vermouth
In addition to its colour, another factor that characterises white wine is its sweetness, accompanied by citrus and vanilla notes. The sweetness of this vermouth is not explained by the addition of a greater amount of sugar, but by the fact that fewer bitter ingredients are used in its blend.
Dry Vermouth
The dry vermouth is special for making iconic cocktails such as the Dry Martini or Dry Manhattan and is characterized by its distinctive bitterness.
Rosé Vermouth
Finally, the rose vermouth, on the other hand, with its floral and fruit notes, stands out for its smoothness, lightness and freshness, and is also used to make cocktails such as Negroni or Manhattan.
