Marquise is an excellent example of why the French are the best at making brandy, with their chalky soils and maritime climate. Ageing in barrels fashioned from limousin oak are the indispensable features of Marquise.

Launched in 1990, Martini Biano earned the name 'Bianchissimo', or 'the whitest', inspired by the white parts of the vanilla plant. White wine is filtered through charcoal, flavoured with natural herbs and vegetables mainly from the Alps, then sweetened with beet sugar and fortified with spirit.
