Martini Rosso is the original product of the Martini & Rossi house, first created in 1863. It is a classic Italian sweet red vermouth made from a base of wine infused with a secret blend of herbs, botanicals, and caramelised sugar.
Known for its rich amber-red colour and balanced bittersweet profile, Martini Rosso is one of the most widely used vermouths in classic cocktails. It delivers a smooth combination of herbal complexity, gentle sweetness, and subtle bitterness, making it a foundational ingredient in many iconic aperitif drinks.
