Introducing a refreshing cocktail that just tastes like northern Italy
We had the chance to visit northern Italy and we were able to stop by Chef Fabio Trabocchi’s Venetian restaurant Fiola at Dopolavoro. Oliviero Fiato, manager of the restaurant, shared with us his creation of Dolce Stil Novo, which is a nod to the 13th and 14th century Italian literary movement.
This creation is beautiful with a fresh take on ingredients we know. WOT we love about this drink: The addition of Rosemary — it adds a unique flavor to this incredible drink.

Rosemary Simple Syrup
