I am so surprised that Difford's Guide hasn't reviewed this vermouth yet! An amazing workhorse vermouth, arguably one of the very best when you consider a balance of quality and cost. It has a character of spices (cinnamon, clove and bitter, anise-y wormwood), lemon and orange citrus, raisins and vanilla, but very balanced rather than overly intense (which some people complain about Carpano Antica's character). I really would love to see your take on this venerable vermouth.
