History

This Negroni, served straight up, is bittersweet and sweet with sour notes. It is designed to possess "that extra pinch of acidity that keeps the palate alive and fresh."

Leonardo Todisco, the global brand ambassador for Strucchi vermouths and bitter, created this recipe in 2023. The Apocalypse Negroni, which is fresher and more incisive, honors the character of Rodolfo Valentino, the famous star of The Knights of the Apocalypse film and, fittingly, the current face on the Bitter Strucchi label. This recipe reimagines a classic Negroni by presenting it in a sour style, then shaken and served straight, with an added touch of acidity to maintain palate freshness and vibrancy.
