The Story Behind The Bottle

Habits Bottle Shop
Antica Formula is Carpano's flagship red vermouth, made in Italy to a recipe considered by many bartenders and vermouth lovers to be the gold standard of the category. Its bold, multi-layered flavor comes from a blend of wine fortified with a proprietary mix of botanicals, spices, and citrus, resulting in a vermouth far more intense and complex than the average sweet vermouth. On the nose, expect rich notes of vanilla, dried orange peel, and warm spice; the palate follows with a deep sweetness balanced by bitter herbal notes and a long, lingering finish. Antica Formula is best known as the vermouth of choice for an elevated Manhattan, where its intensity stands up beautifully to rye or bourbon, and it's equally at home in a Boulevardier or a stirred, vermouth-forward cocktail. It can also be enjoyed on its own over ice with a twist of orange as a simple aperitif. Because of its concentrated character, a little goes further than with lighter vermouths, making the bottle last. If you want to upgrade your Manhattan or Negroni game, order Antica Formula vermouth online at Habits Bottle Shop and taste why bartenders reach for it first.
