Romano Levi (1928-2008) , the “angelic grappa maker” as Luigi Veronelli used to call him, was just 17 years of age when he took over the running of the distillery founded by his father Serafino in1925. Using the same distillery equipment, and the same hand-crafted productions process, he went on to become the most famous “grappaiolo” in the world, not only for his grappa, but also hid hand-drawn labels. Countless publications and exhibitions in Italy and abroad have been dedicated to his main subject: the “Wild Woman”.
Barolo Vermouth is a recipe from the late 1800s and is mentioned by Strucchi in his Monograph on Vermouth of Turin, published in 1906 and considered the most important historical work devoted to this product.
Enjoyable before a meal, diluted with seltzer, but used in the past as a meditation wine, this drink was very successful.
It is important to note that Barolo Vermouth is not related to Barolo Chinato; in fact, its main bittering agent is the mugwort plant.
Moreover, it is enriched and fortified, as tradition dictates, by a few drops of the original Romano Levi grappa.
Its complex structure makes it perfect in any situation.
