Full-flavoured and bittersweet. Some will prefer this aperitivo with the dilution that comes with serving over ice in an old-fashioned glass

Wonderful Italian style aperitivo. Wonderfully balanced.
It is a little thick on mouthfeel, so I would agree to serve it on the rocks. We still used a coupe glass, but added some small round ice cubes. If you do not want to do rocks, I would add a splash of cold water before you stir.

Plus the backstory is great. You must read to understand the cocktail better.
Excellent! Over ice in an old-fashioned glass, it's as mouth-fillingly rich as a Negroni, but fruitier (more orange), less bitter and distinct enough to earn its own space. One to savour.
