About this product
Sardinia in a Glass.
From the sun-soaked hills and aromatic maquis of Sardinia comes Vermouth Rosso di Sardegna, a bold and refined expression of the island’s botanical heritage. What sets it apart is its base: a Vernaccia di Oristano DOC Riserva, aged for 12 years in small Sardinian chestnut barrels, lending unparalleled depth, complexity, and silky texture. Silvio Carta then enriches this exceptional base with local herbs, roots, and spices, transforming tradition into a vermouth of elegance, balance, and personality.
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red hue, releasing a complex bouquet of bitter orange peel, myrtle, Mediterranean herbs, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is layered and harmonious: vibrant bitter-sweet tones, hints of oak, spice, and a persistent, elegant finish. The long-aged Vernaccia base adds remarkable depth, giving each sip a rich, textured character that elevates the vermouth above ordinary expressions.
Perfect for Irish aperitivo lovers, Vermouth Rosso di Sardegna shines over ice with a twist of citrus, or as the backbone of classic cocktails like the Negroni or Manhattan. It brings Sardinia’s warmth, craftsmanship, and aromatic allure directly to Irish tables.
Why we love it:
We love Silvio Carta Vermouth Rosso for its harmonious balance of herbal complexity and subtle fruit notes. The careful aging and hand-harvested botanicals create a smooth, rounded profile that is both approachable and refined. Perfect for enjoying on its own or in a classic Negroni, it brings a touch of Sardinian heritage—and a hint of Mediterranean sunshine—to any Irish home bar.
