In essence, vermouth is a flavored wine. It is believed that a drink called vermouth was once invented by Hippocrates. Since Hippocrates, this father of medicine, is the most famous physician of antiquity, his vermouth drink was intended for medicinal purposes. Hippocrates put together his first vermouth recipe around the 5th century BC. However, the very first vermouth production plant was opened in 1786 in Turin by a certain Antonio Carpano.
Vermouth is based on
white wine
. At least, that is the basis of the classic vermouth that was made at the end of the 18th century. Today, however, vermouths made not only from white but also from red and pink grapes are permitted.
All kinds of
spices
, herbs, seeds, flowers,
fruits
and
berries
are used to flavor vermouth. But every vermouth must include Alpine wormwood. Besides it, vermouth also contains: mint, cinnamon, black elderberry,
cardamom
, yarrow,
nutmeg
and other spices and seasonings. Several dozen different spices and fruits can be added to a single vermouth.
Vermouth is divided into five groups:
• Dry vermouth
• White vermouth
• Red vermouth
• Pink vermouth
• Bitter vermouth
Traditional, classic vermouth is vermouth made in Italy or France. The Italian Martini is nothing other than vermouth.
Martini vermouth
is considered one of the most widespread vermouths outside Italy. It is followed by the Italian vermouths Cinzano and Gran Torino, the French Noilly Prat, and the Spanish Salvatore.
