Aromatic Vermouth from the capital of the same name in the Savoie department on the edge of the Alps in eastern France. The city was the seat of the Dukes of Savoy when this area was still a separate duchy or kingdom (until the mid-19th century). The Vermouth is made from white wines, Alpine herbs, spices and essences. The reddish colouring comes from special herbal essences. It is characterised by diverse aromas of cinnamon, vanilla, Szechuan pepper, almonds, citrus, pear, tobacco and oregano. It is drunk iced.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
