Oscar.697 Extra Dry Vermouth (500ml)

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

Produced in Canelli, in the province of Asti in the Piedmont region in Italy’s north-west, this fairly new Vermouth brand is the brainchild of three drinks experts: Stefano di Dio, Oscar Quagliarini (the brand’s namesake who created the recipe for the vermouth) and Oreste Sconfienza, a vermuttista who’s been making Italian vermouth since the late 1950s.

Trebbiano di Romagna, a white variety from central Italy (selected for its neutrality) is used without alcoholic fortification, reportedly making this the driest vermouth on the market next to Martini Extra Dry. A fine proponent for the ultimate dry martini.
