Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth is an Italian sweet vermouth made to the Antica Formula by Fratelli Branca Distillerie of Milan. Its lineage runs back to Turin in 1786, when Antonio Benedetto Carpano invented vermouth. It is bottled at 16.5% ABV (33 proof) and produced in limited quantities.

Mountain herbs and spices, saffron and vanilla among them, are infused into the vermouth. Vanilla leads on the nose, joined by spice, citrus, dried fruit, raisin and clove. The palate is rich, layering vanilla with bitter orange, dates, cocoa bean, cherry and saffron, before a very long finish of rich fruit and spice.
