Distillery Information

he Starlino range includes three types of vermouth. Vermouth is a fortified wine flavoured with a variety of botanicals, anything from roots, flowers and herbs to seeds, fruit and spices. All vermouths, sweet or dry, have a white wine base. Like the Hotel Starlino range, the first modern version of sweet vermouth was made in Turin, Italy. The Starlino is produced by Torino Distillati. Starlino Rosé Aperitivo, 17% ABV, is a pink vermouth. The ingredients list is citrus-forward with pink grapefruit, lemon and orange peel. Other botanicals listed include wormwood, elderflower, coriander, strawberries, raspberries, thyme, cloves and many other herbs and spices. Starlino Rosé is a fresh addition to any aperitif. Absolutely delicious. Starlino Arancione Aperitivo, 17% ABV, is an orange vermouth. The ingredients include orange, lemon and pink grapefruit peel, elderflower, angelica, thyme and cloves and a few more botanicals to bring out those lovely bittersweet flavours you want from an aperitivo drink. Starlino Rosso Vermouth, 17% ABV, is a traditional sweet Vermouth di Torino, which is aged in ex-bourbon barrels to add vanilla and spice. The botanicals list includes wormwood, cloves, vanilla, rhubarb, ginger, cinchona tincture, grape skin, raisins, bitter orange peel and other herbs and spices. The botanicals are extracted and distilled before being blended with a spirit and wine base. Both Rosé and Arancione have a Trebbiano wine base, and Rosso Vermouth uses a blend of three white wines: Trebbiano and Sicilian Ansonica and Cataratto wines as well as Marsala wine (Sicilian fortified wine). While the Rosso spends 30 days in the oak, the aperitivos are rested in stainless-steel tanks for six months. Before bottling, each vermouth goes through a chill filtration. The Hotel Starlino range also includes Maraschino cherries which have been aged for two weeks in their natural Marasca juice before being left to rest for one more week for the ideal flavour. These cherries are the perfect addition to any aperitivo cocktail.
