Perino Dry Vermouth - 750ml

The wine base gives it such a clean, neutral lift that the botanicals actually pop instead of getting muddled. I’m already planning a second bottle for martinis—it’s got that crisp, tense finish that keeps you coming back.

The freshness of the botanical integration really comes through — you can taste the disciplined structure in every sip. I've been using it for martinis and the tension it brings makes them noticeably crisper. For a dry vermouth, this one has incredible clarity without being one-note.

The botanical balance is nicely done and the wine base does keep things bright and crisp, but it feels a bit too restrained for my palate. I was hoping for a touch more tension or complexity on the finish. It works fine in a martini, though, so I'll keep it on the shelf.
