Carpano Vermouth

In 1786, Antonio Benedetto Carpano invented modern vermouth in Turin, a white wine spiced with herbs and sweetened to suit the bourgeois palate. He believed the sweeter style would appeal more to women than the local dry red wines, a calculated gamble that created an entirely new drinks category. Over two hundred years later, Carpano is still the name that defines Italian vermouth.

A legend in history.
The story goes that on 19 April 1870, a stockbroker, caught up in a discussion with colleagues whilst in the Carpano wine shop about the increase in share prices on that day – one and a half points – ordered his usual Carpano vermouth but asked for the barman to add half a measure of bitter, using the regional expression “Punt e Mes”. The drink immediately became popular as an aperitif before lunch, as recalled by the barman of the time Maurizio Boeris.
