Antonio Benedetto Carpano first blended this style in his Turin shop in 1786, and the modern bottling — released in the 1990s as a tribute to the original recipe — is built on Moscato wine, herbs, spices, and a richer, more aromatic profile than virtually any other sweet vermouth on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, dried fig, saffron, and bitter orange peel\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Layered — caramel, raisin, clove, gentian root, dried herbs\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and bittersweet, with cocoa and a faint smokiness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eUse It In\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNegroni:\u003c\/strong\u003e The benchmark build — equal parts gin, Campari, Antica Formula\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eManhattan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rye or bourbon, Antica Formula, Angostura — stirred over ice, cherry garnish\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBoulevardier:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whiskey-forward Negroni variant; Antica's depth carries the drink\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHanky Panky:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gin, Antica Formula, Fernet-Branca — the Savoy classic\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWhy Antica Formula Is the Reference\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost sweet vermouths fade behind the spirit in a Manhattan or Negroni. Antica Formula doesn't — it pushes back. The vanilla and dried-fruit weight stand up to bourbon, gin, and Campari without needing extra dashes or sugar to make the cocktail balance. It's why bar programs from Death \u0026amp; Co to The Dead Rabbit have used Antica Formula as the house sweet vermouth for stirred drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWhat's the alcohol percentage of Carpano Antica Formula?\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eCarpano Antica Formula is 16.5% ABV (33 proof).

More aromatic gins work too, but the vermouth's intensity calls for a gin that can stand up to it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eHow is Carpano Antica Formula different from Cocchi Vermouth di Torino?\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eBoth are premium Italian sweet vermouths from Turin, but Antica Formula leans heavier on vanilla, saffron, and dried fig, while Cocchi Vermouth di Torino is brighter and more citrusy.
