Padro & Co Rojo Clasico Vermouth
The making and selling of vermouth in Catalonia, Spain has been documented since the second half of the nineteenth century. At that time, the export of wine and local brandies from the area around Tarragona was really taking off and parallel to this positive industrial and commercial climate, vermouth was able to take root there as a new wine product.
Padró & Co. Rojo Clásico is a tribute to the vermouth which was originally sold from wine cellars or enjoyed religiously every Sunday at noon. This vermouth evokes those herby and slightly medicinal aromas which can transport you back, even now, to the atmosphere inside those local bars and cafes.
VINIFICATION
The base wine is made with Macabeo and Xarel lo grapes from the Padró family's own vines. After the first winter, they add their special red vermouth herb formula to make a base blend which we then leave to rest and evolve in barrels for between nine and twelve months. These barrels originally contained sherry, after which they were used for a time to transport wine and they have now adapted them for vermouth storage.
