Vermouth, Non Vintage
Grassotti “Puntino” Vermouth Aperitivo (c. 1960s)
A rare survivor from one of Piedmont’s historic vermouth producers, the Grassotti “Puntino” Vermouth Aperitivo captures the elegance and charm of mid-20th century Italy. Produced in Rivarolo, near Turin, this vermouth hails from the cradle of Vermouth di Torino, where craftsmanship and tradition defined the aperitivo hour.
The label, richly decorated in emerald green and gold flourishes, speaks to the prestige of Grassotti’s bottlings in the era, proudly noting the company’s foundation in 1837. The typography and design details — typical of the 1950s and early 1960s — help to firmly place this bottle in that golden post-war period. …

Vermouth, Non Vintage
Amaro - Pistone (1970's Bottling)
The Pistone Vermouth Amaro “Nastro Azzurro” is a fascinating relic of Italy’s post-war aperitivo culture, likely dating to the 1960s. Produced by Pistone Luigi & C., this Turin-style amaro-vermouth hybrid reflects the experimental creativity of Italian producers during a period when bitters, aperitivi, and vermouths were thriving in both domestic and export markets.
The striking turquoise-and-white label, with its ornate flourishes and bold “PISTONE” branding, is unmistakably mid-century in style. The proud designation “Nastro Azzurro” (Blue Ribbon) would have been a mark of quality, aligning this bottling with Italy’s reputation for excellence in vermouth-making. …

Drink - Torazzi (circa 1970's)
The Torazzi Vermouth Drink is a strikingly rare Italian bottling, produced during the 1960s to early 1970s, when vermouth enjoyed global popularity both as an aperitivo and as a cocktail staple. The ornate, medal-adorned label design and the bold red “TORAZZI” branding across the shoulder are characteristic of mid-century Italian export bottlings.
The use of the term “Vermouth Drink” rather than the classic “Vermouth di Torino” hints at a style crafted specifically for broader export markets, appealing to a growing international audience that was discovering Italian fortified wines.
This vermouth would likely have carried the classic Rosso profile — deep amber-red in colour with aromas of bitter orange peel, …

Gherzi Vermouth Torino Tipo Amaro (c. 1970s)
The Gherzi Vermouth Torino Tipo Amaro is a fine representation of Italy’s vermouth tradition from the 1970s, a period when Turin’s vermouth makers were still exporting widely across Europe and beyond. The bold red-and-gold label with ornate flourishes and the use of the word “Tipo Amaro” (a bitter style vermouth) firmly places this in the mid-to-late 20th century Italian production style.
This expression would have delivered a richer, more robust profile than classic Rosso vermouths, with layers of dark caramel, bitter herbs, wormwood, and gentian, supported by spiced notes of clove, cinnamon, and licorice root. …

Antica Formula - G. Carpano
This historic bottling of Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth, dating from circa 1965–1975, is a rare and evocative piece of Italian aperitivo history. With its wax-sealed top and intricate monochrome scrollwork label, it represents the luxurious mid-20th-century revival of the original 1786 recipe created by Antonio Benedetto Carpano in Torino.
On the nose and palate, the vermouth is dense, rich, and layered, offering aromas of vanilla, cocoa, dried figs, raisins, and alpine herbs. The signature bitterness of wormwood provides structure, balancing the natural sweetness and giving the vermouth a velvety, lingering finish. …

Quinta do Noval, Non Vintage
Noval Tawny Port Bottled in 1974
This Quinta Do Noval Tawny Port is a style of fortified wine characterised by its amber colour and complex flavour profile that develops from extended aging in wooden barrels.

Sandeman, Non Vintage
Royal Corregidor 20 Year Old Oloroso
Appearance
Very deep yet transparent blacky brown fading through oak gall ink to amber at the rim, legs.
Nose
There is a distinct aroma of age here with considerable depth and complexity. The nose is dry and serious with lots of old oak and walnuts and even a hint of spice, yet traces of fruit and cinder toffee from the PX. There is even the slightest trace of licorice. Such complexity can only come from very old soleras.
Palate
The first material sign of sweetness starts here with old PX richness but the wine is a good bit less sweet than a Cream. The PX is probably there to balance out any astringency from the very old Oloroso, and there is certainly not much astringency now; …

Valdespino, Non Vintage
Pedro Ximénez `El Candado`
El Candado is Spanish for the padlock, and indeed every bottle comes with a small padlock and two little keys. The idea is that a butt from this solera used to be locked away as someone from the Valdespino family wanted to keep the wine to himself.
Nose: quite a bright nose, with lots of raisins and figs but in a fruity way rather than the sticky way. Honey and plenty of quince jelly. Some green, leafy notes too, as well as a light woody touch. Light cinnamon.
Mouth: very sweet and onctuous, but again not over the top. Toffee notes, desserts with figs and honey. Guava. Grows slightly darker towards the end, with some Turkish coffee, dark caramel and a light spicy edge (pepper, cardamom). …

Valdespino, Non Vintage
Palo Cortado `Viejo C.P.`

It was traditionally aged in the Calle Ponce (Ponce Street), and if has kept the C.P. initials since then. It’s not age-certified, but the average age of the bottled wine is 25 years.
Notes: Pale sandalwood/caramel in hue, with a fresh, brisk, redolently woody aroma. Though appearing to teeter on the verge of volatility by virtue of being so dry and so woody, the blue cheese notes (cachel blue / dolcelatte / cabrales / stilton) lift it into an entirely different level. …
