Contratto Vermouth Rosso
Contratto Vermouth Rosso is a Piedmontese red vermouth from Contratto in Canelli, Italy — produced from recipes dating to the 1890s, capturing the structural depth and herbal complexity of historic Vermouth di Torino. Distinct from sweeter modern commodity red vermouths, the Contratto Rosso emphasises bittersweet herbal layering and dried-fruit character built on an Asti-region wine base.
Contratto’s Rosso is the centerpiece of its revived classic apéritif lineup, with the recipe drawn directly from the early 20th century formulations rather than modernized variants. Essential for properly historic Negroni, Manhattan, and Boulevardier preparations, where the depth of the vermouth contributes meaningfully to the cocktail rather than fading behind the spirits.
