A Vermouthstamp from Chambéry, capital of the department of Savoie on the Alps in eastern France. The city was the seat of the Dukes of Savoy when this area was still a separate duchy or kingdom (until the mid-19th century). The aromatic Vermouth is made from white wines, Alpine herbs, spices and essences. The reddish colour is the result of special herbal essences. It is characterised by a variety of aromas of cinnamon, vanilla, Szechuan pepper, almonds, citrus, pear, tobacco and oregano. It is drunk iced.
Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
