Presented in a beautifully sculpted 75 cl bottle whose contours echo the classic architectural landmarks of Turin, this premium aperitif wine has a refined 18% ABV. The heritage of this unique formula stretches back to 1837, originally crafted as an exclusive court recipe for King Carlo Alberto of Piedmont-Sardinia by his personal chef. The royal recipe was later secured by the prominent vintner Tumalin Bartolomé Baracco de Baracho, who established commercial production and named the brand in honour of the king\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•    Appearance: A bright, clear golden-straw yellow showing beautiful crystalline reflections.\u003cbr\u003e•    Aroma: A fine, sharp, and inviting bouquet. It offers intense floral aromas of chamomile and orange blossom honey, underpinned by zesty citrus peel, white flowers, and deep herbal undertones like tarragon and wild thyme.\u003cbr\u003e•    Palate: Balanced, smooth, and wonderfully enveloping without going overboard on sweetness. Light honeyed notes and fruit in syrup are perfectly counterpoised by an intricate, velvety line of bitterness from alpine herbs. Warm exotic spices, ginger, and gentle hints of vanilla play across the tongue.\u003cbr\u003e•    Finish: Long, clean, and haughtily persistent. It leaves a lingering dry trail of herbal complexity, led by gentian, coriander, and soft balsamic breaths of eucalyptus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistilling Methods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe production methodology prioritises extreme patience and exceptional raw materials. The foundational base relies on two highly prestigious local Piedmontese DOCG white wines: Moscato d'Asti and Erbaluce di Caluso. To impart its regal character, a precise blend of 25 carefully chosen botanicals—comprising rare berries, spices, fruits, and roots—is infused in 45% neutral alcohol for a period of 40 days. Following filtration and meticulous blending with the wine base, the vermouth is allowed to harmonise and mature in traditional Piedmontese oak casks for three to six months before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions \u0026amp; Cocktail Creations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•    Neat: Serve it moderately chilled or over a few large ice cubes, garnished with a fine slice of lemon or a twist of Mediterranean orange peel to let the aromatic complexities open up beautifully.\u003cbr\u003e•    With a Twist: Top with chilled premium tonic water or a splash of soda for a refreshing, low-alcohol daytime spritz.\u003cbr\u003e•    In Cocktails: It makes a magnificent, structured base for classic mixology. Substitute it into a White Negroni (with gin and gentian liqueur) or use it to add a rich, aromatic dimension to a premium Vodka or Gin Martini.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe structural weight and beautiful acidity of this Riserva Superiore make it exceptionally food-friendly. It pairs delicately with seafood appetisers, grilled shellfish, and fresh cheeses like goat's cheese or young Pecorino. It also provides an excellent counterpoint to salty appetisers, cured meats, or even bolder matches such as lightly spiced white meats and roasted poultry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caraibi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55273426026839,"sku":null,"price":37.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/5529\/9927\/files\/White.jpg?v=1791214087","url":"https:\/\/artifexdrinks.com\/products\/riserva-carlo-alberto-white-vermouth-75cl","provider":"Artifex Drinks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
