Carpano Antica Formula is a 16.5% vol. vermouth made from white wines, with a brown-amber color and a pronounced vanilla character.
Antica Formula brings hot infusion and cold extraction into one vermouth.
Carpano describes choosing hot infusion or cold extraction according to the aromatic plant being worked. Some botanical components require months of preparation; after they are assembled, the blend undergoes a further period of maturation. The process builds the vermouth in stages, pairing its white-wine base with separately prepared aromatic components.
Carpano names vanilla, saffron, wormwood and burnt sugar among Antica Formula’s ingredients. Its brown-amber appearance does not mean that the base wines are red.
Carpano proposes Antica Formula with bitter and soda for an Americano, or with bitter and sparkling wine for a Negroni Sbagliato. These are the producer’s cocktail suggestions.
