Martini Bianco - new equipment

Volume: 0.75 litres | Alcohol content: 14.5% | Chill filtration: Yes | Colouring: No

Special Features:

White wines, including Trebbiano, form the base of Martini Bianco. A blend of botanicals complements this wine base, giving it its gentle vanilla and herbal character. The aperitif is pale gold in the glass.

Martini Bianco was introduced in 1910. Its flavour combines sweet and bitter impressions with floral nuances; alongside vanilla and herbs, wine notes and a hint of apricot are also discernible. This bottle contains 0.75 litres at 14.5% alcohol and comes without gift packaging.

Martini Bianco can be enjoyed on its own over ice. Adding tonic water makes it a long drink, while a Bianco Spritz combines it with Prosecco and soda water. Lemon, strawberries and fresh mint make suitable garnishes for the spritz.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Vanilla and aromatic herbs come together on the nose.
• Palate: Martini Bianco feels soft and rounded on the palate. Vanilla stands out, accompanied by delicate floral notes, subtle herbal spice and a hint of apricot. The sweetness remains gentle.
• Finish: A very light bitterness provides a counterpoint to the gentle sweetness in the finish.

Distillery/Bottler:

The history of Martini & Rossi is closely linked to Turin and nearby Pessione. In 1863, Alessandro Martini and Teofilo Sola took over an existing distillery and brought in Luigi Rossi as a partner. Rossi developed the recipe for Martini Rosso. From 1864, the company expanded its production site in Pessione, directly beside the railway linking Turin to the port of Genoa. Production continues there today.

Wine and botanical specialists work together in production. Master Blender Beppe Musso oversees production and the selection of base wines. Alessandro Garneri, Master of Botanicals, is responsible for the botanical ingredients. These are assessed not only for their aroma but also through chemical analysis and tasting. Together, the two areas of expertise ensure that the recipes and their characteristic flavours are preserved.
