Carpano Antica Formula is the original sweet vermouth — and arguably the most important bottle in the history of the cocktail. Created by Antonio Benedetto Carpano in Turin in 1786, this is the vermouth that started it all: the ancient formula that defined the category, inspired generations of bartenders, and remains the gold standard for sweet vermouth to this day. Produced from the Carpano Distillery’s original 18th-century recipe, bottled in a faithful reproduction of the original label and bottle with traditional cork and red wax seal, Antica Formula is as much a piece of history as it is a drink. Wine Enthusiast awarded it 95 points.

The nose is rich, fruity, and deeply enticing: fig, dried cherries, faint spiced gingerbread, and bitter orange peel, all warmed by a signature hint of vanilla that sets Antica Formula apart from every other sweet vermouth on the market. On the palate, it is lush and complex — drinkable solo over ice as an aperitif, or as the non-negotiable ingredient in a proper Negroni or Manhattan. The 375ml half bottle is the perfect format for home bartenders who want the real thing without committing to a full bottle.

Vermouth from Casa Mariol who bring over a century Terra Alta wine production expertise to the table. Also, the bottle looks completely awesome. Made of white wine coming from young vineyards and macerated with aromatic plants.

Aromas of cirtus, vanilla, and aromatic herbs followed on the palate as refreshing, intense, and long-lasting.

Appearance - Lemon-yellow colour. Aroma - Aromas of rosemary and thyme, citrus notes and touches of vanilla. Taste - Sweet and pleasant entry, intense, refreshing and prolonged.

Winemaker Description 

This Vermouth uses a mixture of 26 aromatic herbs such as marjoram leaves, gentian roots, orange zest and others, which all together compose our family recipe. We then add a blend of different Pio Cesare white wines, including our Moscato d’Asti. After a 15-day maceration, the Vermouth obtained is aged in oak barrels for at least 4 months. The Recipe is finally completed with the addition of caramel, which gives our Vermouth its light color, and its distinctive aroma and taste. In order to better appreciate our Pio Cesare Vermouth, we recommend drinking it in the old “piemontese style”, sipping it with no ice, but just a little slice of lemon zest.

Expert Review

Robert Parker 90+ Points | The NV Vermouth di Torino is based on Chardonnay but is infused and aromatized with cloves, cinnamon, quinine, citrus peel, ginger, nutmeg, marjoram and other secret ingredients that were written down on a piece of paper in 1952 and kept under lock and key ever since. The folks at Pio Cesare did well to bring this traditional recipe for Vermouth back into circulation. This is an ideal aperitivo drink that can be served on ice with a slice of lemon. It opens to a bright orange-gold color and offers a complicated bouquet that recalls the many aromatic ingredients used in the infusion. The fishing is sweet, but not excessively so.

Emilio Lustau is one of Jerez's most celebrated bodegas — a house with over a century of Sherry-making expertise and an unwavering commitment to quality. Their Vermut Rosé brings that same Sherry-house precision to the world of vermouth, creating a distinctly Andalusian expression that is as beautiful in the glass as it is on the palate.

The Lustau Vermut Rosé Vermouth Jerez 750ml is a sweet rosé vermouth built on a blend of Palomino Fino, Moscatel, and Tintilla de Rota sherries — the last a rare, indigenous red grape variety from the Jerez region that lends the wine its delicate pink hue and red fruit character. The blend is fortified with neutral spirit distilled from 100% Airén grapes and infused with a carefully selected bouquet of botanicals: wormwood, cardamom, nutmeg, vanilla, and chamomile.

The nose opens with vanilla, thyme, oregano, cedar, and fig. On the palate, orange peel, strawberry, and rose geranium emerge alongside green cardamom and orange blossom, all carried through to a long, elegant Sherry finish. Serve chilled over ice with a slice of orange — or use as the foundation of a stunning Spritz or Negroni Rosé.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Vanilla, thyme, oregano, cedar, and fig
• Palate: Orange peel, strawberry, rose geranium, green cardamom, and orange blossom
• Finish: Long, elegant, and distinctly Sherry-driven

Perucchi Vermouth Blanco Gran Reserva — Spain NV

Vermouth Perucchi holds a singular distinction: it is the first Spanish vermouth, created in 1876 by Don Augustus Perucchi in Catalonia. Nearly 150 years later, the recipe remains unchanged — a secret combination of more than 50 herbs, plants, and roots macerated with carefully selected wines and mistelas from Alt Empordà, Valencia, and La Mancha. What makes Perucchi truly extraordinary is its solera system: many of the aging vessels are the same century-old deposits Don Augustus started with, meaning every bottle contains a small percentage of vermouth more than 150 years old. All organic, no preservatives, no antioxidants.

Straw-yellow with greenish tones from the herbaceous botanicals. The nose is delicate and exquisite — a multitude of floral aromas woven through with the complexity of 50+ botanicals.

Noilly Prat · Rouge Vermouth · Marseillan, Languedoc · France

Since 1813, Noilly Prat has been crafting vermouth in Marseillan — a sun-drenched village on the shores of the Étang de Thau lagoon in the Languedoc, where the Mediterranean climate and sea air are as much a part of the recipe as the botanicals themselves. The world's most storied vermouth house, Noilly Prat pioneered the art of outdoor aging: their base wines spend months in oak barrels under the open sky, exposed to the sun, salt air, and seasonal temperature swings that give Noilly Prat its singular oxidative depth and complexity. Their Rouge is a sweeter, richer expression — a blend of Languedoc wines infused with 20 hand-selected herbs and spices, including bitter orange peel, nutmeg, and gentian — that has been a cornerstone of the French aperitif tradition for over two centuries. At $18.99, it's one of the most versatile and rewarding bottles you can keep behind the bar.

Deep ruby-amber in the glass with an inviting nose of dried cherry, vanilla, warm spice, and a hint of orange zest. On the palate: lush and semi-sweet with flavors of ripe red fruit, caramel, cinnamon, and a pleasantly bitter herbal finish that keeps it from being cloying. Serve chilled over ice as a classic aperitif, use it to build a perfect Manhattan or Negroni, or simply enjoy it as the French do — with a slice of orange and a handful of olives.

• Producer: Noilly Prat (est. 1813)
• Style: Rouge (Sweet Red) Vermouth
