Carpano Sweet Vermouth
by F. Sot Fitzgerald
Magnificent.

Shall I end my review there?

I suppose not.  But that is the nut of what I think about Carpano sweet vermouth.  Carpano comes from Italy, imported by Branca Products of New York City.  It's 16.5% alcohol, though you wouldn't know it when you drink it. 

Carpano is a vermouth like none other I've tasted.  Pour it and you see that it is caramel-brown colored, not ruby red like many other vermouths.  Carpano is rich, viscous, and loaded with botanicals.
