Bellini

What is Bellini?

The Bellini was born in post-war Venice, at Harry’s Bar, where bartender Giuseppe Cipriani combined fresh white peach purée with chilled Prosecco to craft a drink that captured the lush sweetness of summer and the fizz of festivity. Named after Renaissance painter Giovanni Bellini, whose art inspired the soft pink hue of the cocktail, the Bellini quickly became more than just a seasonal offering—it became a signature of Venetian elegance.

Over time, the Bellini’s simple formula—just peach and sparkling wine - has proven its staying power. It’s since become a brunch favorite, a toast-worthy drink for weddings, and a staple in bars worldwide. Its beauty lies in its balance: the velvety, fragrant peach notes softened by delicate bubbles, a drink that both refreshes and uplifts without overwhelming.
