Dolin Blanc is the sweet vermouth here. Its pale colour can make that easy to overlook, especially if you arrive expecting a White Negroni to be a drier red one. Luxardo Bitter Bianco brings a different herbal route from Suze, with Tanqueray providing the gin. Sweet wine and a clear bitter can make very good company. Blanc is the name to remember when choosing the vermouth; Dolin Dry would be a different ingredient and a different drink.
