How it is made
Bianco vermouth is made by blending white wine with a variety of botanicals and sweetening agents, such as sugar or grape must. The mixture is then fortified with a neutral spirit to increase its alcohol content, typically between 16-18% ABV. After fortification, the vermouth is aged for a short period to allow the flavors to meld before bottling.
History
The origins of vermouth date back to ancient times, but Bianco vermouth as we know it today was developed in the late 19th century in Italy. It was created as a response to the growing popularity of sweeter wines and cocktails, offering a refreshing and aromatic option. The name 'Bianco' means 'white' in Italian, reflecting its color and distinguishing it from other vermouth varieties.
In cocktails
Bartenders often use Bianco vermouth in cocktails such as the Bianco Spritz, Martini Bianco, and various aperitifs. It can be served chilled on its own, over ice, or as a component in mixed drinks. When using Bianco vermouth, it is recommended to pair it with lighter spirits and fresh ingredients to enhance its delicate flavors.
Worth knowing
Bianco vermouth is often used in cocktails as a substitute for gin or vodka, providing a unique flavor profile that enhances the overall drink.
