Antonio Benedetto Carpano is credited with the creation of the first modern vermouth at his Turin shop in 1786. Italian white grape varieties from the Romagna, Puglia, and Sicily regions are used to form the base wine which is combined with multifarious botanical infusions and caramelised sugar according to Carpano’s antique formula. Antica Formula stands out for its unique and unmistakable notes of high quality vanilla from the tropical regions of Madagascar, Papua New Guinea and Tahiti.

A well-rounded, rich vanilla taste mingles with raisin, cloves, cassia, bitter orange, and saffron. Notes of caramel, bay leaves, chocolate, and coffee. A full-bodied, intense recreation of an antique formula from Milan, this sweet vermouth is certainly among the richest of its category.

Use whenever an italian, sweet, rosso, or red vermouth is called for. Particularly when paired with rich dark spirits such as in a Manhattan.
