Emilio Rocchino came to Sardinia from Salerno in 2006 looking for work & began bartending on the Costa Smeralda. He went on to bartend in Milan before returning to Sardinia & working with a spirits producer making various traditional Sardinian spirits. It was here that his creativity flourished & he began to develop his own recipes. According to Emilio, when vermouth was invented in Torino in 1786, Piedmont was under the kingdom of Sardinia, & wine from Sardinia was used in the original recipe. He nods to that tradition by using wine from both Piedmont & Sardinia in his vermouths.
