Baldoria Wild Plum Vermouth

From Boves, Italy, Baldoria Wild Plum Vermouth is a modern craft spirit with a unique conservation story. It's the result of a collaboration with the Alpine Maritime Society to revive a native wild plum species from the Maritime Alps, reflecting the brand's focus on sustainability. This is not an old classic, but a new creation from a brand established in 2019 by the minds behind Paris's Little Red Door bar. Made with a Chardonnay wine base, the process uses botanicals foraged from the foothills of the Alps. Each bottle sold supports the replanting of these rare plum trees, creating a vermouth that balances the tartness of the fruit with warm almond notes from its kernel.

This semi-dry vermouth brings a unique balance of tart wild plum and a distinct warm almond note that comes directly from the plum's kernel. Based on Chardonnay wine, its lush texture and bright acidity make it a versatile player, shining in lighter cocktails or simply served with soda.

A delicate, floral perfume of fresh wild plum and almond blossom gives way to a lush, round mouthfeel. The palate balances the soft tartness of plum flesh with the warmth of almond from the kernel, finishing with a lingering, harmonious acidity.
