Intense ruby red color with purple hints. The bouquet is complex , with aromas of violet, spices and red fruits such as cherry and raspberries. Fullbodied, persistent, with a velvety and spicy finish on the palate.

Caramel-brown coloured, not ruby red like many other vermouths.

Carpano Antica Formula is rich, viscous, and loaded with botanicals.

On the palate it displays flavours of licorice, toffee, mint, rock candy and many other flavours. Antica Formula is both bitter and sweet. It begins sweet then finishes bitter.

Great for making Negroni's

The hand-picked grapes are crushed and pressed in the absence of oxygen and without the addition of sulfur dioxide. The must ferments partly in stainless steel vats and partly in large oak barrels. The long contact with the fermentation yeasts and the repeated bâtonnage during aging give the wine delicacy and complexity.

The Chimay Red Cap, or Première, in 750 ml bottles, is the oldest of the Chimays. This Trappist beer possesses a beautiful coppery colour that makes it particularly attractive. Topped with a creamy head, it gives off a slight fruity apricot smell from the fermentation. The aroma felt in the mouth is a balance confirming the fruit nuances revealed to the sense of smell. This traditional Belgian beer is best savoured at cellar temperature (10 - 12°C)
