An Italian Bellini


The Bellini is a drink that was created in the 1930's or 40's at Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy, by bartender Giuseppe Cipriani and was named after a favorite painter, Giovanni Bellini. The Bellini has sparkling Italian wine as the base in Italy but it is often made with Champagne elsewhere. Amy and I had one on our last night in Rome and it was delicious!
