Mionetto Blossom Frizzante

I wanted to focus on one simple element and highlight each of it’s vital components. The orange plant, was an obvious bet. The plant is comprised of more than just it’s fruit. It produces many of the beautiful olfactory notes you’d experience in Italy. I wanted to highlight the multitude of layers of nuance and beauty that both the plant and the sparkling wine can add to deepen a simple theme. I broke down the orange blossom plant into two main components; it’s fruit and it’s flower. For the flower I used Neroli, Orange Blossom and Bergamot. For the fruit, I used Green Mandarin and the Sicilian Blood Orange. Each and every ingredient in this simple, yet elegant sparkling cocktail displays aspects of these two facets, constructed to a perfect harmony of bitter, floral, sour and sweet, with a creamy textured mouthfeel.
