Want the cleanest, driest Dry Martini you've ever poured at home? This is the half people forget to buy. Pale, zesty and bone-dry, Martini Extra Dry is a wine spiked with botanicals that cuts through your gin like a squeeze of something fresh. Splash it over ice with soda and a lemon twist and it's a lovely low-key sipper on its own. Order now and it's at your door, fast, any hour.
Almost colourless with a faint pale-gold tint. The nose is delicate and bright: raspberry and lemon peel up top, then a powdery floral note from orris root (the violet-scented heart of the recipe) sitting on a whisper of wood. On the tongue it's dry, lightly herbal and clean, with a crisp apple-skin tartness and just a touch of bitterness on the finish. Light, sharp, fresh. Not sweet at all, which is exactly the point.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Martini comes out of Turin in northern Italy, where the house has been blending vermouth since 1863. Extra Dry is the paler, sharper member of the family, built from dry white wine and a recipe of 30-plus botanicals that the brand keeps under wraps. The signature move is Florentine orris root, the same fragrant iris used in perfume, which gives it that soft violet lift. These days Martini & Rossi sits under Bacardi, but the Turin pedigree is the real thing.
