Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth 1l

Indulge in luxury proportions with Carpano Antica Formula in this generous liter bottle, where legendary vermouth meets practical sizing for serious enthusiasts. This larger format delivers the same complex, vanilla-rich profile that has made Antica the gold standard for sweet vermouth, now in quantities suitable for regular use or special gatherings. For home bartenders who've discovered Antica's transformative power or establishments that pour premium cocktails, this size offers better value without compromising the quality that defines this historic vermouth.

The liter format acknowledges Carpano Antica's role in modern cocktail culture. Once bartenders discover how Antica elevates Manhattans and Negronis, returning to ordinary vermouth becomes impossible. The larger bottle makes sense for those who use Antica regularly, providing better price per ounce while ensuring steady supply. The same meticulous production applies—original 1786 recipe, over 30 botanicals including precious saffron and Madagascar vanilla, careful oak aging for integration. This consistency means every pour delivers the complexity that justifies Antica's premium status.

From this liter bottle, Antica Formula continues to impress with its depth. The rich amber color promises the complexity within. The bouquet explodes with vanilla, backed by orange peel, exotic spices, and herbs. The palate delivers Antica's signature sophistication—initial vanilla sweetness balanced by complex bitterness, with waves of botanicals creating ever-changing impressions. Saffron adds its distinctive note, dates and dried fruits from aging appear, while wormwood and gentian provide classical vermouth structure. The wine base and oak aging contribute body and integration that cheaper vermouths can't match. The finish extends with perfect balance, inviting both neat sipping and cocktail mixing. This liter size proves perfect for cocktail parties where quality matters, regular home use by Antica devotees, or anywhere this legendary vermouth's complex character enhances drinking experiences. It's the practical way to keep excellence always at hand.
