Un Americano a Schiavon

The Americano, pre-dinner cocktail par excellence, known all over the world, actually hides an all-Italian soul.

Legend has it that it was born to celebrate the success of the boxer Primo Carnera, first Italian athlete to win the world boxing title in 1933 in New York, America.

A vigorous and robust cocktail, like the great boxer, also called "the walking mountain" because of his imposing size.

Preparation: pour Gran Bassano Rosso Vermouth and Super Taurus Bitter into a glass with ice, add a splash of soda and garnish with a lemon slice.
