The story
Augustus Perucchi, originally from Turin, introduced vermouth production in Badalona in the mid-19th century; the oldest surviving documents formally date the founding to 1876. Over the decades the company has preserved traditional artisanal processes and the historic recipe, establishing itself as one of the oldest and most recognized vermouths in Spain. The brand was recently integrated into the Vermuts Miró / MaserGrup group (announced in 2025), after earlier international acquisition operations.
