Barcelona’s Antich vermouth has returned in Poblenou, with the founding family’s sixth generation bringing the historic brand back to market. For Barcelona readers, the key point is simple, a local vermouth name is once again on sale.
That matters for bar owners, vermouth buyers and anyone following Barcelona food and drink, because the revived range is being made locally and sold through limited channels. The company has not published a public retail list in the source material, so buyers should check specialist shops and the brand’s own channels for current stock.
What the source says about the revival
According to betevé, the story goes back more than 150 years, before the first stone of the Sagrada Família was laid. Anton Antich, originally from Santa Coloma de Farners, moved to an industrialising Barcelona in search of work, and his son later founded a distillery in Poblenou, then a major manufacturing area in the city.
What is in the current range
According to betevé, the family kept the original recipes, labels and bottles in a home cellar, and Pau Matías-Guiu Martí rebuilt the brand from those handwritten formulas. The company says the new vermouth uses 100% organic Macabeo grapes and a fortification process, a traditional Catalan method that gives the wine sherry-like notes.
Why Barcelona drinkers may notice it
The range now includes Original, Blanc, Reserva and Doble Planta. The Blanc won the Vinari Gran Or award for Best White Vermouth 2026, and the Reserva is aged in oak barrels from Boteria Torner, a company founded in 1739. According to betevé, the revived brand is already being sold beyond Catalonia, including in northern Spain, Europe and the United States.
What to do next
For residents, bar owners and buyers in Barcelona, the next step is to check specialist retailers or the brand’s own sales channels for availability. For more local coverage, see our Community page and our Sport page for other city updates.
