Project Description

It is one of the most interesting and most typical Italian luxury wines.  The old spelling of the name itself was Vermouth (or Wermouth, or Wermuth). The origin of the name is uncertain; perhaps  it takes its name from the German word Wermuth, “wormwood” (Arthemisiaabsinthium).
It became famous in Piedmont, thanks to Antonio Benedetto Carpano, who was the first to produce  and “launch”  it in 1786 in Turin in his shop in the heart of the city.   Another popular shop was the one owned by the Rovero family, and King Carlo Alberto was one of its customers . In 1838, brothers Giuseppe and Luigi Cora were the first to export the product. In the late 800 Vermouth was regularly exported to South America, the United States and throughout Europe.
