Tasting profile
A complex, layered sweet vermouth driven by burnt orange peel, caramelized sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg, with deep coffee and herbal notes underneath. Syrupy on the palate with a bitter finish that keeps pulling you back, it drinks well neat, over ice with citrus, or stirred into a Manhattan or Negroni.

What reviewers say
“Who would have thought vermouth was so delicious with an orange peel twist, ice and club soda? Not me! I''d love to drink this in the campo in the summer!”

Summary
Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth is Undefined grown in Piamonte, bottled as a fortified wine. It sits in the $30–60 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $34.95.
The calibrated figure is built from 912 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 930 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 3 other fortified wines from Italy, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Fortified · Italia (4 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 912.
