It takes a minute and takes out the seeds. The drink turns silky, and nobody spends the toast picking at their teeth.
Which Prosecco for a Rossini?
The Pink. The Pinot Noir in her adds red‑berry notes of its own, so the strawberry sings. The Gold makes it crisper and fresher.
The Prosecco in this recipe: Bella Principessa, at ProseccoWine.com.
The Story
Gioachino Rossini, who wrote operas and, by most accounts, ate very well1. The drink is louder than its peach‑coloured sister, and it knows it.
Make it when strawberries actually taste of something. Out of season, frozen berries do a very good impression.
You’re here because you want the Bellini’s glamour with a little more nerve. Blend, strain, chill, pour the Pink. Then watch who asks for the second one.
