All bar toolsThe story of the Negroni Sbagliato
“Sbagliato” means “mistaken” in Italian – and that is exactly how the drink came about: at Milan’s Bar Basso around 1970, Mirko Stocchetto reached for sparkling wine instead of gin while making a Negroni. The result was lighter and livelier, and it stayed on the menu. In 2022 the Negroni Sbagliato enjoyed a global surge after being named as a favorite drink in a viral interview clip.
