Carlo Alberto Vermouth is a combination of rare ingredients and ancient wine-making techniques requiring great experience and skill. In 1837, Carlo Alberto Vermouth was born from a wine prepared by the chef of the Piedmontese King, Carlo Alberto. The recipe for this royal wine—made with DOCG Moscato d’Asti and DOCG Erbaluce Caluso grapes—was passed along to a wine shopkeeper, Tumalin Bartolomé Baracco de Barachowas, where production continued for two hundred years. Today the vermouth is produced with the same base wines and infused with 27 different local herbs and spices. The design of the bottle mirrors the Piedmontese and Art Nouveau architectural tradition, most notably the Colonnade of the Gran Madre in Torino.
