Third Edition (2024)
In 2024, the third edition of the Cocchi Savoy Vermouth di Torino Dry was introduced. This new version was created in partnership with Andrea di Chiara, Bar Manager, and Angelo Sparvoli, Head Bartender of the American Bar.
The Cocchi Savoy Vermouth di Torino Superiore Dry stands out as a Vermouth di Torino Superiore (VdT Superiore), thanks to its composition, which includes over 50% Piedmontese wine, including a Chardonnay from Monferrato with limestone soils and a Cortese known for its marked freshness and acidity. The result is a product with a mineral character, perfect for interpreting contemporary mixology.
The carefully selected main botanicals include: cedar and mandarin, which provide a citrusy vibrancy; sage and galangal, for a unique aromatic complexity; along with absinthe, mint, gentian, bergamot, and rhubarb, which complete the aromatic profile in balance with the previous two editions of the Cocchi Savoy Dry.
This is a limited edition, with only 2,000 bottles available.
Secondo Edition (2019)
This updated second edition was significantly shaped by Maxim Schulte (The American Bar) and Elon Soddu (The Beaufort Bar) through several technical and sensory tasting sessions held at the Cocconato winery and their bars in London. The Cocchi Savoy Vermouth di Torino Dry was designed to give an unmistakable character to the Savoy Martini and classic international cocktails, but its perfect composition also makes it enjoyable on its own, served fresh or over ice.
With its unique recipe and infusion of rare spices, the Cocchi Savoy Vermouth di Torino Dry carries the “di Torino” designation on the label, placing it within the renewed and protected denomination of Vermouth di Torino.
First Edition (2014)
In 2014, Giulio Cocchi and The Savoy joined forces to create an exclusive version of Cocchi Vermouth Dry, destined for the bars of the iconic London hotel. This first edition, whose creation involved Erik Lorincz, then Head Bartender of the American Bar, and Declan McGurk, Bar Manager, blends the traditional Italian art of winemaking with the deep knowledge of mixology from the American Bar team at the Savoy.
With its unique recipe and infusion of rare spices, the Cocchi Savoy Vermouth Dry, through the use of wormwood and other bittering herbs, adheres to the fundamentals of a classic vermouth, but is enriched with citrus, bergamot, and alpine herbs from Piedmont, giving it the pleasantly dry character of this flavored wine.
Delicious on its own, served fresh or over ice, the Cocchi Savoy Vermouth Dry is the ideal ingredient for the most famous cocktail: the Martini.
How to drink it
Born with the aim of perfectly balance an elegant gin or a premium vodka in a Martini cocktail, Cocchi Savoy Vermouth di Torino Dry can also be enjoyed neat or over ice thanks to the quality of the 100. Italian wine base and the perfect balance of the recipe. The distinctive flavor of the new Cocchi Savoy Vermouth di Torino Superiore Dry gives an inimitable character to the legendary Martini, and it enhances classic cocktails such as Martinez, El Presidente, Bronx and many others.
