Vermouth Spritz
The Vermouth Spritz
Not orange. Not sugary. Not made for the sun. The Soria Vermouth Spritz is the red Italian spritz — built on Vermouth di Torino Rosso, wine-led, naturally balanced, and unapologetically after-dark. A spritz with character, made for mountain bars, long dinners and slow evenings.

Why a Vermouth Spritz
The better winter spritz
The classic orange spritz was built for sunshine — bright, sweet, easy. A vermouth spritz is the opposite invitation: what you reach for when the light fades and the conversation gets longer. Because Vermouth di Torino is roughly 75% wine, a red vermouth spritz has body and length the way good wine does, without the sugar load of a liqueur-based spritz.
Alfredo Soria is crafted in Piemonte from the family recipe first bottled in 1934, on a base of Piemonte Cortese DOC and Moscato d'Asti DOCG. Naturally bittersweet, softly herbal, with a clean finish — it carries Prosecco and soda without disappearing into them. The result is a red spritz that drinks like a proper Italian aperitivo, not a brunch cocktail.
So go ahead. Embrace the night.
Frequently Asked
About the Vermouth Spritz
What is a vermouth spritz?
A vermouth spritz is a wine-based spritz built on Italian vermouth instead of an orange bittersweet liqueur. The Soria Vermouth Spritz uses Alfredo Soria Vermouth di Torino Rosso, Prosecco and a splash of soda — drier, deeper and more balanced than an orange spritz.
Is a vermouth spritz sweet?
Naturally sweet, never sugary. Vermouth di Torino is wine-led — about 75% wine — so a vermouth spritz tastes balanced and grown-up rather than candy-sweet. Perfect if you find the Aperol Spritz too sweet.
What is the best vermouth for a spritz?
The red Vermouth di Torino: Alfredo Soria — made in Piedmont on a base of Cortese DOC and Moscato d'Asti DOCG — gives a spritz body, depth and a clean finish without leaning on added sugar.
Is the vermouth spritz a winter spritz?
Yes. Where the orange spritz belongs to the summer sun, a red vermouth spritz is at home after dark — in winter, in the mountains, in candlelit bars. Drier, warmer in character, made for the evening.
How do you make a vermouth spritz?
Fill a wine glass with ice. Add 60ml Alfredo Soria Vermouth and 90ml Prosecco, top with a splash of soda water, and garnish with an orange wheel and green olives.
Is a vermouth spritz less sweet than an Aperol Spritz?
Yes. An orange spritz is built on a sugared liqueur; a vermouth spritz is built on wine. The Soria Vermouth Spritz gets its gentle sweetness from Moscato grapes, not added sugar — so it finishes drier, deeper and more balanced.
