In the charming city of Turin, where history and innovation dance together, Antica Torino brings to life the rich traditions of Piedmont with their meticulously crafted vermouths and spirits. Founded by Vittorio Zoppi and Filippo Antonelli, the company began with a passion for reviving forgotten recipes and a commitment to celebrating the essence of their region.

Piedmont, known for its breathtaking landscapes and a long history of winemaking, is the soul behind every bottle that Antica Torino creates. The region’s heritage of producing fine wines and aromatized spirits dates back centuries, with Vermouth di Torino being a crown jewel. The vermouth itself is a testament to Turin’s sophisticated past, where it was enjoyed as an elegant aperitif, steeped in the culture of social gatherings and refined tastes.

Antica Torino’s portfolio is a journey through Piedmont’s flavors. Their signature Vermouth di Torino Rosso captures the essence of the region’s rich botanicals, blending them with carefully selected wines to create a drink that is both timeless and contemporary. Each sip reveals layers of complexity, offering a taste experience that is at once familiar and new.

But Antica Torino doesn’t stop at vermouth. Their range includes a variety of spirits, each crafted with the same dedication to quality and tradition. From their bold and herbaceous Barolo Chinato, which marries the richness of Barolo wine with an infusion of aromatic spices and quinine, to their smooth and complex Amaro, each product tells a story of Piedmontese craftsmanship.

For Vittorio and Filippo it is about so much more than just making drinks; it’s about preserving and celebrating the cultural heritage of their beloved region. They source local ingredients, honor traditional methods, and yet infuse each product with a fresh perspective, making their offerings perfect for both the purist and the adventurous drinker, as well as the professional mixologist or the aspiring home-bartender.

Antica Torino invites you to explore the magic of Piedmont in every glass. Whether you’re enjoying their vermouth in a classic cocktail or savoring their amaro neat, you’re not just tasting a drink—you’re experiencing the heart and soul of a region rich in history and flavor.
