Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth, 1 L

Utterly unique, this knocks the socks off just about every other Vermouth you are likely to come across. Still utilizing the same formula as that created some 240 years ago this is a Vermouth that tastes wonderful straight but will make great cocktails (think Negroni!). Carpano can trace their history as far back as 1786 when the creator of this unique recipe, Antonio Beneditto Carpano, owned a wine shop opposite the Royal Palace home to King Vettorio Amedeo III. That the King was so quick to adopt Antonio’s new drink no doubt contributed to its early success. Indeed such was the success that the wine shop became a factory within 40 years and Carpano’s Vermouth was THE drink around Turin. Great character and complexity with Vanilla notes.
