Martini Bianco
White, sweet vermouth, and in the Netherlands we most often drink it with tonic. Vanilla and herbs, smooth in taste. Ice-cold, it’s an aperitif that takes no effort at all.
White vermouth with a softer side
Martini Bianco is the white, sweet vermouth from Martini & Rossi. It’s made in Pessione, just outside Turin. Like the other Martinis, it starts with wine, which is flavored with herbs and other botanicals. Rosso is dark and herbal. Bianco is light in color and smooth, with vanilla and herbs that blend beautifully.
Bianco launched in 1910. In the Netherlands, it became the brand’s most popular bottle, especially thanks to the Martini tonic. At 15% alcohol, it’s a light aperitif. Stronger than wine, but much lighter than gin or vodka. So you can simply drink it neat over ice without it feeling heavy.
At a glance
What does Martini Bianco taste like?
Vanilla
Warm vanilla, underpinned by aromatic herbs and a touch of floral notes. Inviting and not at all sharp.
Smooth and sweet
Smooth and sweet. First comes the sweetness, then the herbs, while the wine keeps it fresh.
Lightly herbal
Short, with a hint of herbs and a little bitterness at the end. That’s how an aperitif should finish.
This is how Martini Bianco tastes ice-cold and neat. Add tonic for a drier, fresher taste.
How to drink Martini Bianco?
Bianco should be cold. Put the bottle in the fridge, use plenty of ice and add lemon. That's when you'll taste the vanilla best.
Martini tonic
Take a large copa glass filled with ice, pour in 75 ml Martini Bianco and 75 ml tonic, and add a lemon slice. Equal parts, as Martini itself recommends. The tonic cuts the sweetness a little.
Copa glasses →Over ice with lemon peel
Fill a tumbler completely with ice, pour in 60 ml Bianco and squeeze a strip of lemon peel over the glass. This is the brand's own serve, and you won't get an aperitif on the table any faster.
Tumblers →Bianco soda
Pour 60 ml Martini Bianco and 120 ml sparkling water into a longdrink glass filled with ice, and add a lemon slice or a sprig of mint. Less sweet than with tonic. Perfect for a warm afternoon.
Longdrink glasses →More aperitifs in the style of Bianco
Bianco belongs among light, floral aperitifs. These drinks are in the same vein and look just as good on a summer table.
Hugo Spritz
Prosecco, elderflower, mint and sparkling water. Just as light and floral as a Martini tonic.
Aperitif cocktails
Light, slightly bitter drinks for before dinner, with vermouth, bitters and bubbles.
Italian cocktails
From Americano to spritz. The Italian aperitivo culture where Bianco comes from.
Summer cocktails
Light drinks for the terrace. Bianco with tonic or soda fits right in.Which Martini Bianco glass should you choose?
For Martini tonic, choose a roomy copa glass to fit plenty of ice. Serve it neat over ice in a heavy tumbler, and Bianco soda in a tall glass.
