- Fruit fibers act as nucleation points for carbonation, causing sudden foaming. Tilt the glass and pour very slowly!
Classic Bellini Cocktail
Venice, 1948, Harry's Bar. Giuseppe Cipriani created this drink, whose pink hue reminded him of a saint's toga in a Giovanni Bellini painting. The secret is the meeting of white peach purée and Prosecco bubbles: the fruit fibers 'catch' the carbonation, offering a foamy, fragrant experience.
