Vermouths and people's perception towards them are changing, and the Oscar 697 range are a perfect example of the new-age craft vermouth that still follows the traditions and EU standards to call themselves just that.
The Rosso (Red) has been kept it at a low sugar percent, leading to a preferable drier styled vermouth. It has gorgeous notes of absinthe, rhubarb with subtle aniseed and the rich red colour comes naturally from burnt sugars.
This vermouth is a joy to drink on its own, though it will take traditional cocktails that call for a red vermouth up a tier.
