Italian White Vermouth | 1L | 16% ABV | Carpano, Turin, Italy
Carpano Bianco in the 1L bottle is built for serious home bars and bartenders who go through white vermouth at the speed of a busy Friday night. Lighter and more citrus-forward than Antica Formula, Bianco brings vanilla, white peach, and exotic fruit into Martinis, spritzes, and any cocktail where you want the vermouth to lift the drink rather than weigh it down.

Why the 1L Size
Vermouth oxidizes after opening — but if you're making Martinis, spritzes, and reverse-build cocktails through the week, the 1L stays fresh long enough to justify the size. Refrigerate after opening; finish within four to six weeks. For pros, that's about right for a single bottle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Carpano Bianco the same as Cocchi Americano or Lillet Blanc?
No. All three are aromatized white wines, but the styles differ. Cocchi Americano leans bitter-quinine. Lillet Blanc leans soft and orange-candied. Carpano Bianco sits between them — more vanilla and citrus, with cleaner herbal bitterness. They're not always direct substitutes in cocktails.
What gin works best in a Carpano Bianco Martini?
Bianco's softer, fruitier profile pairs well with Plymouth, Hendrick's, or any contemporary gin where botanicals beyond juniper come through. Avoid heavy London Drys here — Bianco gets pushed around by aggressive juniper.
How long does an opened 1L of Carpano Bianco last?
Refrigerated and capped, an opened 1L of Carpano Bianco stays at peak flavor for 6–8 weeks. If you make Martinis or spritzes weekly, you'll finish it well within that window.
