What is Martini

Essentially, martini is a trademark. The company produces medium-strength flavored fortified wines with the addition of wormwood, spices and other components that give the drinks an original rich taste. Naturally, the complete recipe is classified and only the main ingredients such as alcohol, water, sugar and a few flavors are known to the general public.

Martini gets its name from the name of the creator of the recipe. The first appearance of the drink on the market took place in 1863, when a distillery organized by Alessandro Martini and Luigi Rossi produced samples of the new vermouth. Just 16 years later, the partners opened a factory and registered the Martini & Rossi trademark, which quickly gained fame in Italy. Vermouths of the Cinzano brand were and still remain their constant rivals in the alcoholic beverages market.

Types

Manufacturers have created several recipes with different flavors.

Interesting: Each type of martini has very strict tolerances for sugar content and flavor level.

Authentic drinks are considered to be produced in Italy and have the coat of arms of King Umberto on the label. The rest may be called martinis, but they will not be considered real.

The main division is by color. The basis is white or red wine, and it is produced in its own winery, not trusting the purchased raw materials.

4 varieties of vermouth are considered classic:

• white dry;
• white sweet;
• pink;
• red.

They differ in the type of raw material and the concentration of sugar. The lower bar is kept at 4%, the upper one reaches 16%.
