About this product

Refined. Noble. Profound.
Bordiga Vermouth Excelsior represents the pinnacle of Italian vermouth-making — a luxurious, Vermouth di Torino Superiore Riserva, crafted from Nebbiolo da Barolo aged 3 years in cask. This rare base wine lends extraordinary depth, structure, and character, elevating Excelsior beyond the realm of aperitif into the world of fine wine and collectible spirits.

Infused with a secret blend of wild alpine herbs — hand-foraged in the Occitan Alps — and aged further in the historic Bordiga cellars, Excelsior is an opulent, contemplative vermouth made for sipping, savoring, and sharing with reverence.

Why we love it:
Vermouth Excelsior is a statement piece — rich, expressive, and deeply rooted in both viticulture and craftsmanship. Using aged Nebbiolo da Barolo as its core, it brings the elegance of fine wine to the world of aperitifs. This is a vermouth to sip slowly, gift proudly, or treasure in the cabinet of a true connoisseur.

Country of origin

Italy

Colour
Rich garnet red with copper glints.

Nose
Complex and elegant — aromas of dried rose petals, orange peel, alpine mint, clove, vanilla, and tobacco leaf.

Palate
Deep and structured with notes of red cherry, bitter herbs, aged wood spice, and a warm, integrated sweetness.

A vermouth of this calibre deserves centre stage — whether poured neat, over ice, or in elite-level cocktails.

Ideal food pairings include:

  • Aged cheeses (Pecorino, Castelmagno) or foie gras
  • Spiced charcuterie and dark chocolate
  • Roasted duck, venison, or beef tartare
  • Sicilian orange and fennel salad
