Padro and Co., Rojo Classico Vermouth, NV SO061725 Arretxea no harsh edges—just a quietIn Catalonia, la hora del vermut is a genuine institution: late Sunday morning, a glass over ice, olives on the table, nobody in a hurry. This is the bottle built for it. Padro and Co. have been making vermouth in Brafim, outside Tarragona, since 1886, working from base wine made with their own Macabeo and Xarel lo. The house red herb formula goes in after the first winter, and the blend then rests in casks for nine to twelve months before bottling.
