Review:
Bittersweet and sweet 'n' sour, this straight-up Negroni is designed to have "that extra pinch of acidity that keeps the palate alive and fresh."
History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2023 by Leonardo Todisco, the global brand ambassador for Strucchi vermouths and bitter.
Apocalypse Negroni, fresher and more incisive, celebrates the character of Rodolfo Valentino, famous protagonist of the film The Knights of the Apocalypse and today, not by chance, the protagonist image on the label of Bitter Strucchi. This recipe reinterprets a classic Negroni by proposing it in a sour key, then shaken and served straight, with that extra pinch of acidity that keeps the palate alive and fresh.
Leonardo Todisco, 2024
