In July 2018, Arturo & I have been to the Distillery des Alpes in Chambery. A great opportunity for us to discover how was made this very old recipe of Vermouth. 

One of the distillery’s oldest products, Vermouth Routin Original Rouge is among Philibert Routin’s most famous creations. 

For more than 130 years , the liqueur distillers have been inspired by his original recipe, a blend of 24 plants and spices.

A signature Savoyard apéritif, Vermouth Routin Original Rouge owes its unique flavour to an proprietary aging process: precisely 50% of the finished product is aged in oak barrels to achieve the perfect balance.

You can see on the picture the oak barrels used for the confection the Red Vermouth.
