“It’s called Don Trentito: to create it I drew inspiration from the organoleptic features of its main ingredient, Schiava Gentile Trentino DOC, which gives its some backbone and a pleasant dry aftertaste. The pink grapefruit juice and bitters lend the drink crispness, while lemon juice and chilli pepper syrup create a balance of flavours with a touch of heat that gives the drink character”. Don Trentito is an ideal aperitif cocktail, but also an excellent accompaniment to vegetable, fish and soft cheese dishes.
Before we even tasted it, we were taken aback by the beautifully decorated glass:
“It’s a tribute to Trentino and the memories of wonderful summer hikes amidst the natural colours of the mountains”. This cocktail cannot help but make you smile when you see it and taste it, precisely because it’s made with so much passion: “Don’t ask me how I’m doing: if you see me behind a bar, then you know I’m happy”.
