When Clemente Chazalettes moved to Torino, Italy in 1860, he brought with him the learnings and traditions of the French “using a dry white wine as a base and exploiting the great botanical richness of the Alps.

This is one of the reasons for the uniqueness of Extra Dry in the Italian vermouths scenario. Lemon balm, juniper, bitter orange.

Crafted from the hand written recipes and side notes added by the members of the family over decades, which is incredibly rare. Spices and herbs are dried, diced and then separately macerated in a solution of alcohol and water.

The composition of this solution , the temperature and the duration are different for every herb spice (from a few days to a month). The extract of the different ingredients are separately added to the wine to create the unique formula. Wine is 75% of the final product.

About Chazalettes & Co. Wines

Chazalettes & Co was established in Turin, Italy, in 1876, and is one of the historical vermouth producers in the Piedmont. Their vermouth was particularly appreciated by the Savoy dynasty, so much so that Queen Margherita of Savoia and Princess Laetitia of Savoy-Napoleon granted the right to bear the Royal House emblem, still visible on labels today.

The heir of the founder, Giovanni Chazalettes, preserved all the family’s centenary recipes. And, thank you to both Giovanni and Francesca Bava, we can once again enjoy the original flavors of Vermouth della Regina Rosso and Bianco, and Extra Dry Vermouth, authentic to the profile of Vermouth di Torino.
