Martini X-Dry 500mL

Founded in Turin, Italy in 1863, MARTINI & ROSSI has become one of the most iconic names in vermouth production and Italian aperitivo culture. Combining generations of expertise in wine blending and botanical infusion, the house is recognized globally for producing classic vermouth styles that balance aromatic complexity with elegance and consistency.

MARTINI Extra Dry was first introduced at the beginning of the 20th century and remains a benchmark style within the category. Produced from a base of carefully selected white wines, the vermouth is infused with a proprietary blend of herbs, roots, woods, and citrus botanicals sourced from around the world.

The production process emphasizes precision and balance, allowing the botanical elements to integrate seamlessly with the dry wine base. Its restrained sweetness and crisp profile make it especially versatile in cocktails while preserving freshness and aromatic lift.
