Giulio Cocchi was a young and creative pastry chef from Florence, where he worked in the most popular bar located in Piazza del Duomo. In the late nineteenth century he moved to Asti, a small but lively town in the north west of Italy, not far from Torino.
The legend tells that he fell in love with the owner’s daughter of one of the bars at Piazza Alfieri – the main square in Asti. It seems that his love was corresponded and that is why that bar is still called today Bar Cocchi – a central point in town.

The complexity of this product is the first thing that surprises you. On the nose you initially detect notes of orange zest, orange flower and elderflower before more mature aromas of baked apple and pear drops emerge. Your palate will immediately appreciate the bitter/sweet balance as more bitter notes mingle with honey and citrus flavours, mainly orange and lemon zest. More wine-like characteristics become evident as the flavours develop into a long, vibrant finish, with the bitter and sweet notes remaining fresh until the end.
