The story

What you're tasting

Neutral distilled spirit, valued for its purity and versatility.

Vodka gained popularity in Italy in the late 20th century, particularly in the fashionable nightclubs of Milan and Rome. It became the base for the "Sgroppino" (Venetian sorbet cocktail) and the "Vodka Sour," reflecting a shift towards lighter, cleaner spirits in modern Italian drinking culture.
