Antica Formula is the #1 ultra-premium vermouth and has a 234-year legacy that dates back to the creation of the first vermouth. With a beautiful vanilla-forward nose and aroma, Antica Formula is a bartender’s go-to vermouth for luxury cocktails and is even hailed as “The King of Vermouth” by master mixologists. Antica Formula is based off the original recipe crafted by Antonio Benedetto Carpano in 1786 in Turin, Italy. History notes that the inventing of modern “vermouth” was traced to Carpano, who labored for years in his workshop blending, muddling, macerating and steeping various combinations of herbs until he ?nally found the formula that satis?ed him and his loyal customers.
