History:

A Bellini is a simple cocktail that originated in Italy. As many other cocktails, this one was invented in Harry's Bar in Venice as well. In 1948 Giuseppi Cipriani created the Bellini which was reportedly inspired by the 15th-century Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini. Giuseppi’s recipe took a long time tradition of marinating fresh peaches in wine to a new level. By mixing fresh white peach puree and champagne, Giuseppi had created a new sensation. Due to the drinks' popularity, Harry’s Bar soon offered the drink year round. An entrepreneurial fellow Frenchman made his fortune by setting up a business that ship fresh white peach purée to both Harry's Bars in Venice and New York.
