Description
Antica Formula Vermouth 1L is a rich Italian red vermouth from Carpano, the Turin house whose founder, Antonio Benedetto Carpano, is credited with creating the first modern vermouth in 1786. Antica Formula is based on that historic recipe, a fortified wine infused with herbs and spices and led by a strong vanilla note, and it is bottled at 16.5% ABV.

Serve it over ice with a twist of orange peel as an aperitivo, or use it in a Manhattan, Negroni or Americano, where its depth stands up to whisky, gin and bitters. Keep the bottle in the fridge once opened, as vermouth is wine based.
- Italian sweet vermouth from Carpano
- Based on the original 1786 Turin recipe
- 16.5% ABV, in the brand’s classic 1L bottle
Carpano is now part of Fratelli Branca, and production moved to Milan in 2001. Antica Formula is widely used by bartenders who want a fuller, more aromatic sweet vermouth than the everyday styles.
Expect vanilla, orange peel, dried fruit and soft spice on the nose. The palate is broad and round, with vanilla, bitter orange, dates and cocoa, finishing long and bittersweet.
A good pick for home bartenders who mix Manhattans and Negronis often and want a richer vermouth.
