Martini Rosso vermouth was the very first vermouth, produced since 1863 in two versions: "simple" or "with quinquina". This was the only type of vermouth in existence during the 19th century. A more highly perfumed and livelier personality than Martini Bianco, Martini Rosso vermouth is characterized by the discernible presence of herbs. The amber-brown color comes from traditional caramel.
