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, from a home recipe perfected by Rosa Bertello, turned to producing vermouth in 1947 and fine liqueurs and sparkling wines from 1957. Today it makes Vermut di Torino (rosso, bianco, extra dry and superiore), Vermut Chinato and Barolo Chinato alongside bitters and aromatic-wine liqueurs, still crushing its botanicals in an old hammer mill and macerating them slowly in local Cortese wine. Visitors who stop by can sample the range directly with the producers; it is a drinks house (vermouth and liqueurs) rather than a still-wine estate.
