Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino – The Original Italian Sweet Vermouth
A Historic Vermouth Rooted in Piedmont Tradition
Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino is more than a vermouth; it is a living expression of Piedmontese heritage. Vermouth di Torino was born in the region of Piedmont, where the royal Savoy court helped elevate this aromatized wine into a cultural icon. From the late 18th century onward, vermouth production flourished, transforming Piedmont into the true Kingdom of Vermouth. Cocchi proudly continues this legacy by preserving the original recipe created by Giulio Cocchi, ensuring authenticity in every bottle.
The Original Giulio Cocchi Recipe
This vermouth belongs to the classic category of sweet Italian vermouths, traditionally amber in color and rich in character. Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino remains faithful to late 19th-century manuals, which defined what a great vermouth should be. As a result, it has played a central role in the international revival of premium vermouths. Bartenders around the world often refer to it simply as “Cocchi Torino,” a testament to its iconic status behind the bar.
Botanical Complexity and Distinctive Flavor
The original recipe calls for a carefully curated selection of herbs and botanicals. Cinchona bark and rhubarb lend a subtle brown hue to the clear base wine. To enhance its amber tone, sugar browned over fire is added, contributing both color and a unique flavor profile. This process creates crunchy, cotton-candy-like notes that soften bitterness without relying on vanilla.
Moreover, Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino delivers a thrilling sensory experience. Wormwood and citrus lead the aromatic profile, offering a balanced interplay of bitterness and freshness that defines the Cocchi style. On the palate, vibrant notes of cocoa and bitter orange emerge. Meanwhile, infusions of noble balsamic woods introduce delicate hints of camphor and rosemary. Subtle accents of sandalwood, myrrh, and nutmeg complete the bouquet, adding depth and elegance.
