It’s like a velvet curtain descending on a symphony of forgotten botanicals, leaving an elegant silence. Crafted from an 1854 recipe, it offers an austere yet incredibly drinkable character.

Storage advice

For optimal storage of Vermouth apply the following practical recommendations based on its characteristics as a fortified wine:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles in a cool stable environment ideally between 7°C and 16°C to preserve flavor and prevent premature aging. Refrigerating an opened bottle is essential to slow oxidation and maintain freshness.

- Light Exposure: Keep bottles in the dark away from direct sunlight or bright artificial light to prevent degradation of aromatic compounds and discoloration. A closed cabinet or pantry is suitable for unopened bottles; refrigeration naturally provides a dark environment for opened bottles.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed with its original cap or cork to minimize air ingress. After opening re-cork or screw the cap on firmly to reduce oxidation rate. Using vacuum stoppers or wine preservation tools can further extend shelf life by limiting oxygen exposure.

- Bottle Position:
- For bottles with screw caps or synthetic stoppers store upright to maintain seal integrity and avoid leaks.
- For bottles sealed with natural corks store lying on their side to keep the cork moist and prevent it from drying out and shrinking which can let in air.

- Humidity: Aim for a humidity level around 70% if possible to avoid cork shrinkage or mold growth on cork/caps. While critical mainly for cork-sealed bottles humidity control benefits overall bottle preservation in long-term storage.

- Special Tips:
- Once opened refrigerate immediately and consume within 1–2 months for best quality as vermouth begins to oxidize quickly despite preservation efforts.
- Avoid temperature fluctuations during storage as expansion and contraction can damage seals and accelerate oxidation.
- Some practitioners freeze opened vermouth bottles if they intend to keep them for extended periods which can slow oxidation but may slightly alter taste.

Following these storage practices will help maintain the vermouth's quality aroma and flavor integrity both before and after opening.
