Made from a recipe that dates back to 1821, using herbs and botanicals grown in the Alpine meadows of Chambéry, this is as authentic and traditional a Vermouth you can get. Tasting notes from the importer: "Dolin Vermouths are notably lighter, drier and less pungent than their larger commercial counterparts. The particular mixture of plants found near Chambéry give a fresh, restrained and elegant nose, with a subtle, complex bittersweet palate. Even the Blanc and Rouge retain great balance, with the sugar never cloying, and just enough bitterness to whet the appetite. Each can be enjoyed as aperitif on ice, with a twist of citrus, or in a broad array of traditional cocktails."
