Baldoria Wild Plum Vermouth is a unique collaboration between Ernest and the Alpine Maritime Society, crafted to revive the endangered Alpine Wild Plum native to Italy's Maritime Alps.

Why do we love Baldoria Wild Plum Vermouth?
Baldoria Wild Plum Vermouth stands out for its unique collaboration with the Alpine Maritime Society, reviving a native Italian wild plum species to create a vermouth that perfectly balances tart fruit notes with warm almond flavors from the plum kernel. This innovative spirit opens up new possibilities for cocktails while also being delightful on its own, offering cocktail enthusiasts a taste of Italy's Alpine terroir in every sip.
How do you drink Baldoria Wild Plum Vermouth?
Baldoria Wild Plum Vermouth shines on its own over ice or with a splash of soda, allowing its unique plum and almond notes to take center stage. It's also a versatile mixer in various cocktails, particularly those calling for white vermouth, and pairs beautifully with light summer fare like fresh salads or grilled seafood, making it an ideal companion for warm weather sipping on the patio.
Nose: Fresh wild plums with a hint of almond blossom. Subtle notes of white flowers and dried herbs, reminiscent of a spring meadow. A gentle waft of sweet chardonnay lingers in the background.
Palate: Smooth and lush with a perfect balance of tart plum flesh and warm almond notes. The chardonnay base provides a soft, round mouthfeel. Herbal undertones add complexity, while a touch of sweetness keeps it approachable. Light bitterness typical of vermouth is present but not overwhelming.
Finish: Medium-long with a pleasant interplay of tart fruit and nutty flavors. The plum's natural acidity leaves a refreshing sensation, while the almond notes provide a comforting warmth. A subtle herbaceous quality persists, inviting another sip.
Baldoria Wild Plum Vermouth is crafted through separate macerations of botanicals in a hydro-alcoholic solution and Chardonnay wine base, which are then blended with natural sugars. What's fascinating about this process is the meticulous attention to natural ingredients and traditional methods, with no artificial flavors, extracts, colorants, or preservatives used, resulting in a vermouth that may exhibit natural sedimentation—a testament to its authentic production.
