Negroni Antica Distilleria, Old 1919 Aperitivo

Negroni Antica Distilleria Old 1919 is the original house recipe from Guglielmo Negroni, offering the classic Italian aperitivo style that sits beautifully between Aperol’s softness and Campari’s sharper bitterness. It’s a distinctive, historically rooted spirit with the depth to shine in a Spritz and the structure to make a memorable Negroni Sbagliato.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep, intense red. The aroma opens with bitter orange, wormwood, and a touch of sweet rhubarb, creating a layered and inviting profile. On the palate, it balances rounded sweetness with a clear bitter edge, finishing with a pleasing sweet-bitter aftertaste. Its composition gives it enough intensity to hold up in cocktails while remaining smooth and approachable. Best enjoyed fresh, with no real need for aging.

Production
Old 1919 is based on the original recipe from Negroni Antica Distilleria, built around a classic Italian bitter liqueur tradition. While detailed vineyard or harvest information does not apply, the spirit’s character comes from a carefully balanced infusion of aromatic botanicals, including bitter orange, wormwood, and rhubarb, crafted to deliver both depth and bitterness in a refined aperitivo style.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, ideally straight from the fridge or over plenty of ice in cocktails. It pairs naturally with citrus-based aperitifs, salty snacks, olives, cured meats, and light tapas, and is especially good in a Spritz with Prosecco or a Negroni Sbagliato with red vermouth and dry sparkling wine. Decanting is not necessary.

Producer
Negroni Antica Distilleria is associated with the original Negroni recipe created by founder Guglielmo Negroni, making it a name with real importance in the history of Italian aperitivo culture. Old 1919 reflects that heritage and remains a reference point for classic bitter Italian liqueurs used in some of the world’s best-known cocktails.
