Bellini: Velvet Static

Venice, Italy Europe/Rome

History

Giuseppe Cipriani created the Bellini at Harry’s Bar in Venice in 1948, naming its pink hue after a color used by Renaissance painter Giovanni Bellini. This is a clearly labeled house field riff rather than a historical classic: Black tea contributes dry tannin and a quietly smoky backbone.
