The Bellini
The Bellini is a classic cocktail originating from Venice, named after the famous Renaissance painter Giovanni Bellini. It was first created in the 1930s by a bartender at Harry's Bar in Venice and has since gained worldwide acclaim. The Bellini is a refreshing cocktail made from white peach puree and Sparkling Prosecco, an Italian sparkling wine. It features a light, fruity note and is renowned for its distinctive pale pink color. The Bellini became popular in the USA during the 1950s when it was enjoyed by notable figures like Ernest Hemingway and Truman Capote at the New York bar of the Hotel Ritz-Carlton. The cocktail was also promoted by Italian film icon Sofia Loren, contributing to its growing popularity. The Bellini is also closely tied to the art world and is often served at gallery openings and exhibition launches. It is a timeless classic and a symbol of the Italian lifestyle, cherished by cocktail enthusiasts around the globe.
