"It was Antonio Benedetto Carpano, who gave importance to wormwood in his 1786 recipe for Antica Formula. He subsequently named it vermouth, from the German word “wermuth” for wormwood, to differentiate his product. It is that this idea originated from his admiration for the works of German writer Goethe, who started his travels in Italy in 1786 and that he was also a famous botanist." - Antica Formula vermouth has a clear warm amber hue in the glass. Complex aromas opening with vanilla and spice. Softer citrus and nutty notes reminiscent of cloves, dried lemon peel and almonds. The palate is soft and sweet on the tongue. Complex flavours of bitter orange, dates, cocoa bean, and saffron blend harmoniously creating a unique experience.
