- Rich, fruity and enticing, this sweet vermouth is warmed with notes of fig and dried cherries, and just faint hints of spiced gingerbread and bitter orange peel.

- On its own, Antica Formula offers a complex nose of vanilla, raisins, prunes, licorice, root beer, and citrus peel. The body is initially sweet, then slowly turns more and more bitter — almost to the level of an amaro — as it fades in the glass.

- IWSC
- Inviting aromas of woody plum, liquorice and raisins pave the way to a rich tapestry of dates and sweet spices. It concludes with lingering tones of nutty oak and cinnamon; refreshing and complex.
