Martini Rosso | 14,4% | 0,75 l

Martini Rosso is a classic Italian aperitif, presented with an aromatic profile designed to awaken the senses before a meal. Its character is immediately inviting, with layered aromas and a clear sense of herbal complexity that makes it a recognizable choice among aperitifs.

At 14.4% alcohol by volume, this Martini expression balances aromatic intensity with approachable strength, lending itself both to sipping and to use in mixed drinks. The spirit of Italy comes through in the interplay of botanicals and subtle spice.

Visually, expect a rich, deep hue that hints at concentrated botanicals and toasted spice on the nose. The texture across the palate is typically smooth, allowing notes of herbs, bitter peel and warming spice to reveal themselves gradually.

This aperitif works well as a prelude to food or as a flavorful component in cocktails. Its botanical backbone and balanced bitter-sweet contours make it versatile when paired with a variety of appetizers and small plates.

Tasting profile

On the eye, the pour has a dark, jewel-like tone that signals depth and aromatic intensity.

The nose tends toward fragrant botanicals: herbal notes mingle with hints of citrus peel and a tender spice note, creating a complex bouquet that is both bright and rounded.

Across the palate there is a clear botanical structure. Herbal tones and bitter citrus interplay with gentle sweet undertones, producing a balanced sensation rather than a single dominant flavor.

The finish carries a pleasant persistence of dry herbs and a soft spice warmth. Bitterness and aromatic lift linger, inviting another sip without overwhelming the palate.

Food pairings & serving suggestions

As an aperitif, this Martini expression is a fine match for salty and savory starters. Think cured meats, marinated olives and savory tartlets that highlight its herbaceous notes.

It also pairs well with a range of cheeses, particularly semi-firm or aged varieties where salty and nutty nuances complement botanical bitterness and subtle sweetness.

For lighter fare, citrus-forward salads, seafood canapés and antipasti with pickled elements bring out brighter citrus and herbal facets in the drink.

Serving is flexible: enjoy slightly chilled on its own, with a large ice cube and a twist of orange peel to release the aromatic oils, or use it as the botanical backbone in classic mixed drinks and modern aperitif spritzes.
