Some interesting facts about the white vermouth ‘Served’ Silvio Carta

Baratili San Pietro, in the province of Oristano, is a village of about 1,300 inhabitants. It has been and still is the largest center of Vernaccia wine production. In our country, the origins of a wine similar to “Vermouth” can be traced back to World War II, a time when the production of vernaccia reached an all-time low, as the workforce was at the front and the vineyards were tended by boys and old men.

Adding to the low production was the government’s imposition of requisition of foodstuffs, including wine, thus fostering the emergence of the black market. Baratili San Pietro was fully invested in this exchange of goods-in-kind and so all possible strategies were activated in order to conceal the real production.

Young wine was traded in earthenware vessels of about 20 liters, but these provided a limited shelf life for the product because they had a very large mouthpiece that was difficult to cap. Said containers were hidden in the remotest part of the yards and covered with bundles of wood. During the summer of 1945 my grandfather forgot some of these containers, which were later found in the following winter.

To their surprise, they noticed that the wine had not spoiled and had taken on a fragrance and bouquet laden with floral notes. Scents and aromas that came from the cap, where wild plants had developed including “senecio serpens” responsible for the most intense aromatic part.

My grandfather had friends taste the wine as it was, but at the first few tastings they were all rather dismayed. My grandmother intervened with a small addition of sugar and got everyone to agree. Hence the idea of producing White Vermouth in memory of his grandfather and those times.
