Antica Torino is the brainchild and longtime passion project of Liguria-based wine-and-spirits huntsman Vittorio Zoppi and Umbrian winemaker Filippo Antonelli. Vito’s love for Italian spirits began as it does for many in Italy—as a child surrounded by the time-honored traditions and legacies of regional drinking culture. By sampling and studying a wide variety of vermouth and digestivi from around the world, Antica Torino has endeavored to create refined recipes inspired by the traditions of Torino and enlivened by the Piedmontese spirit. After formulating their flagship Vermouth Rosso, the team turned their attention to (re)creating an increasing collection of heritage spirits with a modern sensibility, elevating botanicals from Piedmont and beyond through fastidious experimentation and an abiding love for the drinking traditions of Italy.

- Sweetened with beet sugar and colored with all-natural cochineal dye
- The final aromatized wine is lightly filtered to remove any remaining particulate and rested for 3 months before bottling
- Aromas of tangy, fruit candies, dried strawberry, and fresh orange pulp introduce a spike of approachable gentian bitterness on the palate while expertly balancing a hint of sweetness with lemon zest on the edges of the tongue. Grapefruit peel and subtle minerality on the finish are amplified when combined with a splash of soda water
