DiBaldo ‘721’ Vermouth Rosso
Tasting note & service
“Like a perfectly aged fine wine, the astounding level of complexity here goes hand in hand with the refined elegance on the palate and near perfect balance. Don't mistake the price-tag here as mistaken or out of touch, this a singular creation that others simply do not hold a flame to. You've never tasted anything quite like this. With every detail considered, this vermouth starts with a rare red wine base and then builds an intricate web of complexity with a botanical mix of twenty-five ingredients that are layered with citrus fruits, herbs, spices, peppers and bitter mountain plants.” - Astor Wines, NYC.
Based on a premium, organic base wine of Emilia-Romagna Sangiovese (85%) Cabernet (15%), this is the real deal. Take your time and you will be lead from deep cherry, wormwood and anise to a perfect bed of vanilla and Damask rose. In true DiBaldo fashion we find some prickly pepper to add flair to this lush creation. '721' is extremely versatile, being used across Italy's top Michelin restaurants both in the kitchen and behind the bar.
Serving:
Neat chilled or on ice, no garnish as an aperitif or digestif
In an Americano DiBaldo: 30ml of both '721' vermouth and 'UnBitter' amaro, topped with ice and a dash of soda in a wine glass or balloon
In small amounts as an X factor in other cocktails – a few drops will make your cocktails sing
In the kitchen, Michelin style: as a two day glaze for duck breast or soak some cherries/dark fruits in it to serve on a spoon as a dessert. There are endless ways to use this incredible liquor, just ask Massimo Bottura or Cristiano Tomei.
