On the other hand, Golfo is a more modern take of vermouth. It’s from Ribera del Duero and uses local Tempranillo grapes and spices to get its unique, curious taste. The dominant note here is clove, but it’s not overwhelming. Interestingly, Golfo is the first Spanish vermouth to come from the Ribera del Duero area.Sweet Vermouth: Often referred to by the moniker “rosso” [rojo] due to its rich, amber-to-deep reddish hue, sweet vermouth is characterized by its elevated sugar content. The flavor profile includes caramel undertones, notes reminiscent of sun-dried fruits, hints of aromatic spices, and sometimes even a whisper of bitterness to balance the sweetness. These nuances give sweet vermouth its characteristic velvety richness. The Spanish version of sweet vermouth stands out even in this category. Renowned for its intricately layered flavors, Spanish sweet vermouth strikes a delicate balance, ensuring a full-bodied sweetness without overwhelming the palate, a balance often attributed to the meticulous choice and proportion of botanicals used.

At Perucchi 1876, one of Spain’s pioneer vermouth brands, CEO Alex Soler Kettlitz sees two main causes for the current vermouth boom. First, we must dive into the age-old dichotomy of sweet versus dry. Just as one might ponder the age-old question of which is superior, Barcelona’s modernist marvels or Madrid’s historic grandeur, the choice between sweet and dry vermouth hinges on individual preference. Sweet vermouth evokes memories of Spain’s languid summer evenings, the richness of its flavors echoing the country’s vibrant festivals, while the crispness of dry vermouth feels like a brisk morning walk in the Pyrenees.Taste profile: Each sip unveils a rich tapestry of flavors. Velvety notes of ripe cherries and plums intermingle with hints of exotic spices, aromatic herbs, and citrus. While lush and opulent, the profile maintains an impeccable balance, gracefully transitioning from sweetness to refined bitterness.

The botanicals in the vermouth whisper tales of Spain’s diverse flora. The herbs might transport you to the meadows of Galicia, while the citrus hints evoke Valencian orchards. Choosing a vermouth becomes deciding which Spanish tale you wish to taste.
