To achieve a balanced product, the base wine must be clean and neutral. Its role is not to dominate, but to act as a vehicle allowing the botanical essence to express its character with maximum intensity.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Botanical recipe: 30 ingredients and the mandatory use of wormwood.<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The distinctive character of a vermouth lies in its botanicals. At Bodegas Bellod, we use a secret blend of<strong> 30 botanicals<\/strong>\u2014including cinnamon, citrus peels, cloves, and aromatic herbs\u2014passed down through three generations. <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key fact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/buscar\/doc.php?id=DOUE-L-2014-80509\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/buscar\/doc.php?id=DOUE-L-2014-80509\">(Legal requirement)<\/a><\/strong>: For a beverage to be legally designated as <em>vermouth<\/em>, it must contain wormwood<em><strong> (Artemisia absinthium)<\/strong><\/em>\u2014the botanical responsible for its characteristic bitterness\u2014among its main ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The time factor: prolonged maceration and aging<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In industrial production, maceration times are artificially reduced.
