Sweet Vermouth: Wine base with vanilla, saffron, and Piedmont botanicals

FULL-BODIED, VANILLA, DRIED CHERRY, FIG, SAFFRON, BITTER ORANGE PEEL

Antonio Benedetto Carpano opened a shop on Turin's Piazza Castello in 1786 and created one of the first commercial vermouths in the world, founding a category. Antica Formula is made today by Fratelli Branca using Carpano's original recipe: vanilla from Madagascar and Tahiti, saffron from Iran, and wormwood from the Piedmont Alps, each botanical drawn out through hot infusion or cold maceration before blending into a wine base.

It holds its own over ice as an aperitif, and it elevates any Manhattan or Negroni. Drinkhacker awarded A (9.5/10), calling it "the first lady of aromatic wines." Refrigerate after opening.
