Each is a full aperitif on its own. Together, a house. Each is made in small batches in Turin, bottled by hand, and shipped with a care we probably can't sustain forever.
01
01 — The first one
Bitter Arancia
Built on bitter orange from three kinds of tree — the two you know and one you probably don’t — with gentian root slow-steeped for nine days and a hand of Turkish rhubarb.
Taste
Bitter, bright, a long finish.
Serve
Tonica, orange wheel, ice.
Color
Burnt orange. Glows in late sun.
Best with
Salted almonds. Or nothing.
02
02 — The afternoon one
Fiore Rosa
Hibiscus cold-brewed for thirty-six hours, pink pepper berries cracked by hand, a whisper of damask rose and the last third of every grapefruit we could find in Sicily.
Taste
Floral first, then bright, then a little salt.
Serve
Soda, grapefruit twist, ice.
Color
Deep rosa — coral, but honest.
Best with
A long book.
03
03 — The late one
Verde Alpi
Wormwood and mint from above Biella, bergamot and chinotto from the Ligurian coast, sage from behind Luca’s grandfather’s shed. A little medicinal. On purpose.
