Launched in 1910, Martini Bianco earned the name 'Bianchissimo', or 'the whitest', inspired by the white flowers of the vanilla plant. White wine is filtered...
I'm wondering if, since Bianco's are somewhere between a dry and a sweet vermouth, you can substitute it for recipes that call for equal parts dry/sweet vermouth.
I use it because it kind of sits between a blanc and a dry and lets me make do with one bottle in the fridge instead of two when making cocktails. Wouldn't recommend substituting for sweet vermouth though, its totally different.
Been exploring the world of Bianco vermouth lately. Long ago Pepsi introduced a product called Crystal Pepsi. It tasted like Pepsi but with a more subdued and slightly tweaked flavor profile. Also it was clear. So this is basically the Crystal Pepsi version of Martini Rosso. Same flavor profile, but subdued with more prominent vanilla notes. It's not bad but it's not as interesting as other Biancos, which, unlike this one, seem to exist outside the French/Italian Dry/Sweet vermouth dichotomy.
