THE BARTENDER WAS DISTRACTED BY SOME PRETTY YOUNG LADIES. As such, in 1972, at Bar Basso, Milan, Mirko Stocchetto accidentally added sparkling wine, instead of gin, to a Negroni. It was pretty good, it made sense, and it allows you to enjoy some bubbles without losing the classic Negroni taste.

Sbagliato is Italian for “mistaken”.
