 The Aperitif in Turin
 
 The aperitif was born in Turin more than 200 years ago: in 1786 Antonio Benedetto Carpano starts to produce, in a shop under the arcades of the central Piazza Castello, a flavored wine made with infusion of herbs and spices.
 Since then, the vermouth has become the aperitif par excellence and one of the symbols of the city of Turin, as much as in Piedmont.
 Today the aperitif time is at the center of city life and is considered a very important moment of the day.
The drink is definitely the hallmark of Turin, can ‘be enjoyed in downtown historic cafes, or find yourself in the new lounge style long-Po.
 You can end the afternoon with a drink accompanied by snacks made with typical Piedmontese products such as cheese, breadsticks meats, bagna cauda and fondue, arose number of commercial firms that exported this particular product in Europe and in the world.

The company has both its roots here and, at the same time, an avantgarde production facility. A place for the soul, where the values that inspired founders Alessandro Martini and Luigi Rossi over 150 years ago are still tangible.

 There is also a very important Museum that containe the old exposed-brick cellars house one of the world’s most important collections relating to the history of wine-making.
