Martini Bianco 1L
★★★★★ 5.0 (2 reviews)Pour it over a tall glass of ice, splash in some soda, drop a slice of lemon and you've got a sundowner that tastes like vanilla, citrus zest and soft garden herbs. Martini Bianco is white vermouth: a fragrant Italian white wine that's been gently sweetened and lifted with botanicals, so it sips light and a little floral rather than heavy. It's your easy yes for the start of the evening, whether you're keeping it simple over ice or topping it with prosecco for a Bianco Spritz. And because it's a full litre, you've got plenty to play with.
First thing you get is vanilla and white flowers, soft and inviting. Behind that sits a twist of lemon and orange peel, then a quiet hum of Alpine herbs and a touch of warm spice. On the tongue it's smooth and lightly sweet, with just enough gentle bitterness to keep it from turning sugary, and it finishes clean and bright. Aromatic but never loud. The kind of glass that makes you want a second.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Martini has been making vermouth in Turin, in the north of Italy, since 1863. Bianco arrived in 1910 and quickly earned the nickname 'Bianchissimo', the whitest, a nod to the little white flowers of the vanilla plant that inspire its signature note. The base is fine Italian white wine, including Trebbiano, infused with herbs and botanicals largely drawn from the Alps. That's a lot of pedigree in a very friendly glass.
