Description

Antonio Benedetto Carpano is credited with creating the first modern vermouth in his Turin shop in 1786. Crafted from Italian white grape varieties sourced from Romagna, Puglia, and Sicily, the base wine is blended with a complex infusion of botanicals and caramelized sugar, following Carpano’s original formula. Antica Formula is distinguished by its unmistakable notes of high-quality vanilla, sourced from the tropical regions of Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, and Tahiti.

Its well-rounded, rich vanilla profile intertwines with flavors of raisin, cloves, cassia, bitter orange, and saffron, while hints of caramel, bay leaves, chocolate, and coffee add depth and complexity. A full-bodied and intensely flavored recreation of a historic Milanese recipe, this sweet vermouth stands among the most opulent in its category.

Ideal for any cocktail that calls for an Italian, sweet, rosso, or red vermouth, it pairs exceptionally well with dark spirits, making it a perfect choice for a Manhattan.
