The Story Behind the Sip
Inspired by Count Camillo Negroni, a 19th-century nobleman with a passion for discovery, our Negroni captures the spirit of adventure and the elegance of a bygone era.
Returning from his travels to New York City, reinvigorated and inspired, Count Camillo Negroni visited his favourite Caffe Casoni in Florence, Italy in 1919. Legend has it he asked his friend, bartender Forsco Scarselli, to strengthen his favourite cocktail – the Americano – by replacing the soda water with gin. The rest is history as his innovative act was the genesis of this timeless and iconic cocktail. We are proud to be the flag bearer of his heritage.
What is a Negroni you ask?
1/3 GIN + 1/3 Vermouth + 1/3 Bitters = 1 Negroni
The constituents of a Negroni is well documented and the world’s best mixologists battle to perfect this blend.
But shhttt! We have a secret - Conte Camillo Negroni has a special ratio, crafted to settle at the perfect balance of the bitter, the sweet and the lusciously aromatic.
Crafting a Conte Camillo Negroni
Our Negroni is born in the heart of the Italian Alps, La Valdôtaine, a small, family-owned distillery nestled in the breathtaking beauty of the Valle d'Aosta. Here, pure mineral-rich water from the Acqueverdi waterfall, juniper berries from high altitudes, and a mesmerising blend of alpine herbs come together to create a truly unique gin, vermouth, and bitters combination. This perfect mix, curated by Master Distiller Alessandro Francoli, is what makes Conte Camillo Negroni so special. Each sip reveals a balance of rich vermouth, fresh alpine herbs, and subtle hints of orange and juniper – a taste adventure that beckons you to explore further.
