The Stregato champagne cocktail at the Baglioni Hotel Regina in Rome, made from Strega liqueur - a blend of over 70 herbs and spices - and Biancosarti with aromas of basil, has won the contest for the best new signature champagne-based cocktail.
Champagne and 5-star hospitality
This is the first initiative of the new partnership between the Baglioni Group and the Comte de Montaigne maison, a company in the Aube region of France which has been producing the most popular champagne in the world since the days of the 12th-century crusades. The Baglioni Group owns the iconic 5-star Baglioni Hotel Regina on the Via Veneto as well as sister properties in other Italian destinations including Venice, Milan and Punta Ala.
A selection of champagnes and fine dining
The Italian Group’s gourmet offerings, inspired by the local traditions of the cuisine overseen by their teams of chefs, now blends with the champagne of the French maison: Brut, Extra-Brut, Rosé, Blanc de Blancs and the Cuvée Speciale (100% Pinot Noir) to accompany the signature dishes on the menus in the Baglioni restaurants.
Gourmet specialties and bubbles
For example, the Baglioni Hotel Luna in Venice offers its guests the prime pairing of Cuvée for its On the Moon dish, enhancing the flavours of fried cod with cuttlefish ink and guaranteeing a well-rounded culinary experience. At the Baglioni Relais Santa Croce in Florence, the Comte range of champagnes is an integral ingredient in the restaurant’s signature risotto recipe, and in each suite, guests will find a bottle of the Comte de Montaigne Brut.
