The origin of the name is uncertain, although in general it is related to the German Wermuth, “wormwood” (Arthemisia absinthium). Its fame originated in Piemonte and is owed to Antonio Benedetto Carpano, who first produced it in 1786 and “launched” it in his shop in the heart of Turin. In 1838 the brothers Giuseppe and Luigi Cora first exported it. By the end of the nineteenth century, Vermouth was widely exported across the globe.
