The Starlino vermouths have been created by Elwyn Gladstone as a range of spirits that aim to bring back an old-fashioned alcohol category and offer consumers an option that's perfect for cocktails.
The range includes the Rosé, Arancione and Rosso, which are each characterized by their premium flavor that's ideal on its own with soda water, mixed into a premium cocktail and more. The drinks each feature a 17% ABV and come from the Vergnano family's Torino Distillati in Piedmonte, Italy.
Master Distiller and Winemaker at Torino Distillati Beppe Ronco spoke on the new Starlino vermouths saying, "Torino is the birthplace of vermouth and here at Torino Distillati we’ve been making them for around 100 years. We are seeing a huge resurgence of interest in vermouths and aperitivos and wanted to create something new, fresh and delicious to bring this forgotten but wonderful category back to life. Vermouths are showing signs of being the next big thing."
