The fame of Vermouth di Torino PGI is linked to Piedmont producers and Turin when, in the 1800s, it was home to the aristocracy of vermouth makers who achieved international standing.

Vermouth di Torino is classified according to the color (White, Amber, Rosé, Red) and the amount of sugar used in its preparation, classified as extra dry for products containing less than 30 grams of sugar per liter, dry for vermouth with less than 50 grams per liter, and sweet for those with a sugar content of 130 grams or more per liter. This extends to the assignation Vermouth Superiore referring to products with an alcoholic strength of not less than 17% vol., made with at least 50% of Piedmontese wines and flavored with herbs other than wormwood cultivated or harvested in Piedmont.
