NV Baldoria Wild Plum Vermouth

Baldoria Wild Plum Vermouth is a semi-dry white vermouth crafted in Boves, Piedmont, on a base of Piedmontese Chardonnay wine at 18% ABV. This special edition represents a collaboration with the Alpine Maritime Society to revive a nearly extinct wild plum species native to the Maritime Alps. The production involves separate macerations of botanicals—including two species of wormwood (artemisia vallesiaca and artemisia pontica), clary sage, rosemary, fennel, and orange peel—in a hydro-alcoholic solution, later blended with the wine base and natural sugars. The vermouth features a unique balance of tart wild plum flesh and warm almond notes from the kernel, with no artificial flavors, extracts, colorants, or preservatives used.

Farming

Botanicals grown on ten acres of farmland adjacent to the distillery without herbicides or pesticides.

Proceeds support protection and replanting of rare plum trees in their natural habitat as part of broader efforts to protect mountain habitats and encourage landscape conservation.
