MARTINI IS MORE THAN THE VERMOUTH. IT’S THE STORY OF TWO MEN WITH A VISION. OF A FERTILE LAND WHERE EXPERT WINE MAKING MEETS WITH BOTANICAL. AND OF A LEGACY OF CRAFTSMANSHIP AND EXPERTISE IN EVERY BOTTLE.
A CREATIVE SPARK
They made an unlikely duo: a clever entrepreneur and a master herbalist. But when Alessandro Martini and Luigi Rossi took over the National Wine & Spirits Distillery in a small village near Turin, magic happened. It was in 1863 that Martini’s enterprising spirit and Rossi’s creative genius were galvanised into a vermouth that has endured for more than 150 years: the inimitable MARTINI Rosso.
A CHERISHED HOME
The location selected to produce MARTINI was no lucky accident. The tiny village of Pessione was carefully chosen for its proximity to the winemakers of Piedmont, the botanical-rich foothills of the Alps, the vermouth trade of Turin and the port of Genoa.
Established on the Turin-Asti-Genoa train line – between the wine-producing Monferrato hills and Genoa, gateway to international markets – MARTINI would go on to travel the world from this tiny spot. Yet the company has always cleaved hard to its roots, even developing a community programme to support the people of the village.
