9 di Dante Purgatorio Extra Dry Vermouth 750ml

Rarely does a vermouth demand as much attention for its base wine as it does for its botanicals. But then again, 9 di Dante isn’t interested in the status quo. While most Rosso vermouths rely on neutral white wine and a heavy hand of caramel for color, founder Alex Ouziel and legendary blender Mario Baralis (a man who spent decades guarding the secret recipes at Carpano) have gone back to the roots of Piedmont.

Purgatorio finds its soul in 100% Arneis DOCG wine. It’s a bold choice that pays off with a textured, floral backbone that stands up to gin without disappearing into the background.
