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

Special Features:

Orange and citrus peel take centre stage in Martini Fiero, a vermouth made with a white wine base. Master Blender Beppe Musso combines white wines with entirely natural fruit flavours. Sweet orange meets fresh citrus notes and aromatic herbs, while the aperitif displays a vivid red colour in the glass. This Italian bottling has an alcohol content of 14.5% and comes in a bottle containing 0.75 litres.

To make a Fiero & Tonic, mix equal parts Martini Fiero and tonic water over ice and add a slice of orange. Another option is a spritz with Martini Fiero, Prosecco and soda water, garnished with a slice of pink grapefruit. Salty bites such as olives, Italian cured meats and Parmesan provide a contrast to the fruity notes.

Served as a Fiero & Tonic, the drink has aromas of juicy blood orange, other citrus notes and a subtle herbal touch. On the palate, this mixture is fruity, fresh and slightly sweet, with a discernible wine base. It is less sweet than Martini Bianco and feels lighter than Martini Rosso. Gently bitter peel and herbal notes shape the finish. Tonic water makes the finish feel slightly drier; neat, Fiero is sweeter and fuller-bodied.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: On the nose, Fiero has a distinctly fruity aroma of blood oranges and ripe mandarins, complemented by fresh herbal notes.
• Palate: Fiero is full-bodied on the palate. Fruity citrus notes combine with a balanced interplay of sweetness and bitterness.
• Finish: The finish is gently bitter and leaves a juicy, fresh impression.

Distillery/Bottler:

The story of Martini & Rossi began in Turin in 1863 with Alessandro Martini, Teofilo Sola and Luigi Rossi. Martini and Sola took over an existing distillery and brought Rossi in as a partner. Drawing on his knowledge of vermouth production, he developed the recipe for Martini Rosso, laying an important foundation for the range.

In 1864, the company established its production facilities in Pessione, near Turin. The site stood opposite the railway station on the route to the port of Genoa, making it well placed for trade. The plant was gradually expanded, and Pessione remains a key production site for Martini & Rossi today. For Fiero, Master Blender Beppe Musso is responsible for combining white wines with natural fruit flavours.
