Carpano Antica Formula 375ml

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“Rich, fruity and enticing, this sweet vermouth is warmed with notes of fig and dried cherries, and just faint hints of spiced gingerbread and bitter orange peel. Drinkable solo as an apéritif, or use it as a cocktail-mixing favorite.” - 93 PTS., WINE ENTHUSIAST (01/2014)

PRODUCER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Carpano Antica Formula stands out from all the other vermouths thanks to its unique bouquet and its unmistakable vanilla notes. First invented in 1786 in Turin by Antonio Benedetto Carpano, it has survived in its original inimitable recipe thanks to the love and the skill of Fratelli Branca Distillerie which, with its motto “Novare Serbando”, has been able to preserve the product’s original qualities and characteristics.”

TASTING: “COLOUR - Light brown with an amber hue; NOSE - Bouquet of vanilla with spicy, citrusy and dried fruit notes of almond, raisins and cloves; PALATE - Well-rounded, rich vanilla taste that picks up the aromas from the nose. Combines well with the bitter orange, dates, cocoa beans and saffron flavours.”
