Carpano Antico Sweet Vermouth (750ml)

An Italian sweet vermouth, this bottling from Carpano is built on a wine base fortified and flavored with an aromatic array of botanicals. Vermouth of this style, red and sweet in character, belongs to a long tradition in Italy, where it functions both as an aperitivo on its own and as a cornerstone of the classic mixed drink.

Expect a rich, layered profile: notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and bittersweet herbs woven through a mellow sweetness. It shines in a Manhattan or Negroni, where its depth stands up to whiskey and gin, but it is also worth pouring over ice with a twist of orange to appreciate on its own. Keep it refrigerated once opened to preserve its aromatics.
