History

Adapted from a recipe created by Sother Teague as an accompaniment to Osso Buco, a classic Italian dish of slowly braised cross-cut veal shanks, for the Sauced podcast (Season 1, Episode 32). The Ponte Vecchio name means "Old Bridge" in Italian, a reference to the iconic covered wooden bridge in Bassano del Grappa, Italy.

We love Grappa and, seeing the recipe, just knew that this would be exceptional. So we brought out some 'big guns' to do it justice: Nonino Picolit Cru Grappa and a Martel Cognac. Seventh heaven for us.

Another great grappa-based cocktail, an instant favorite.
