Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth 750ml
The Vermouth That Started It All — Since 1786
Carpano Antica Formula is the gold standard of premium sweet vermouth — a legendary Italian expression based on a historic recipe dating back to 1786, when Antonio Benedetto Carpano invented vermouth in Turin. Rich, complex, and deeply aromatic, Antica Formula is crafted from a blend of wines infused with a carefully guarded selection of botanicals, herbs, and spices that delivers a flavor profile unlike any other vermouth on the market. This is the bottle that bartenders reach for when quality is non-negotiable.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Deep amber richness with vanilla, dried fruit, cocoa, orange peel, and a hint of saffron — extraordinarily complex and inviting
- Palate: Full-bodied and velvety with rich vanilla, caramel, rhubarb, bitter herbs, and warming spice; a beautifully balanced sweetness and bitterness that evolves in the glass
- Finish: Long and warming with lingering vanilla, spice, and a refined, complex close
