Vermouth tasting at La Canellese
La Canellese is a historic vermouth and liqueur house in Calamandrana, in the hills between Langhe and Monferrato. The Sconfienza family began as a barrel-making workshop in 1890 and turned to vermouth in 1947, still crushing its botanicals in an old hammer mill and macerating them slowly in local Cortese wine. Visitors who stop by can taste the range directly with the producers — Vermut di Torino (rosso, bianco, extra dry and superiore), Vermut Chinato and Barolo Chinato alongside bitters and aromatic-wine liqueurs. It is a drinks house rather than a still-wine estate; call or write ahead to arrange a visit.
