Soon, three managers had assumed command and were running the place like masters — \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Alessandro Martini\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; was the brains, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Luigi Rossi\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; was the Wine-maker, and \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Teofilo Sola\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; was the finance guy. It was a match made in Spirits heaven and the business thrived. Eventually, Rossi’s sons came to head up the company and it was a\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; family operation for generations.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; Now owned by Bacardi, they produce a wide range of Bitters, Vermouths, and Sparkling Wines under the Martini \u0026amp; Rossi brand.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;They call \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Martini Extra Dry “The Original Vermouth”\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; — beginning as it did in \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;1863.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; We’ve found no reason to doubt the claim (though Cinzano claims an earlier date). Most of us know Vermouth as one of the key components of cocktail-making, which, of course, it is. But it was originally derived as a medicinal drink and then as a\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; stand-alone Aperitif.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; At the core it is a fortified Italian White Wine — \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Trebbiano and Catarratto \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;— infused with herbs and gentle spices.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;u\u0026gt;Smartass Corner:\u0026lt;\/u\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;The word “Vermouth” comes from the Germanic “wermut,” meaning “wormwood.” The herb has been a bittering agent in Spirits for hundreds of years and also is the primary component of Absinthe and other Spirits.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45132217974966,"sku":"39476","price":5.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/martini-rossiextradryvermouth_39476_01_ddc56e09_f07ab8c1-7d1b-45af-8c95-f9694066c0dc.jpg?v=1779123213","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/martini-rossiextradryvermouth-39476","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
