Martini & Rossi Rosso Vermouth

Aroma of oregano, thyme, wood, a touch of red wine. Sweet taste of lightly spiced sweet red wine. Light of body.

Pretty rough on its own, not gonna lie.

It’s a step up from the bottom shelf stuff that I had before, but honestly this smells like wine that’s had pencil shavings steeped in it. It works well in rye and bourbon cocktails (where the spice fits in) but actually makes a worse negroni than the bottom shelf stuff imo. The Martini dry vermouth is perfectly pleasant so I’m scratching my head as to why this is so bizarre.
