Oscar.697

Milan | Lombardy

Vermouth isn’t just a captivating craft spirit, it’s a culture. Whether it’s home or professional craft bartenders seeking elevated ingredients for Martinis, Manhattans, Negronis, and other cocktails, or the consumption of vermouth on its own, Italian apertivo culture today is in full bloom.

Our selections from Oscar.697 qualify as “Vermouth Storico di Torino” under current IGP EU regulations, as they are produced in Calamandrana, a tiny village in the Asti province of Piedmont, where many famous Turin vermouths originated. Nevertheless, these products do not carry the IGP designation, in large part because Oscar.697 takes some liberties with tradition in search of new sensations!

Sustainability is also a priority here. Bottles are made from 100% recycled glass and weigh just under one pound, in an effort to reduce the brand’s carbon footprint in shipping. Cap stickers and carton boxes are also from 100% FSC Certified recycled material, and only water-based paints are used for their screen-printed labels. Screw caps are from 100% recycled aluminum.
