Carpano Antica Formula is a rich Italian sweet vermouth from the Turin tradition, where Antonio Benedetto Carpano is credited with creating vermouth in 1786. Vanilla, dried fruit, cocoa, and bitter orange over a full, almost velvety body. This liter bottle suits a busy home bar. Keep it in the fridge once opened. It makes a deeply flavored Manhattan or Negroni, and is also excellent on its own over ice.
