The monferrato feels like an ancestral cocktail, but its actually a fresh new(-ish) recipe from master mixologist leo robitscheck, at nycs nomad bar. The citrusy base of cocchi americono (a white wine apritif) and triple sec is gorgeous against the light, bubbly sparkling wine but its really the bitter that steal the show here, bringing a warm cinnamon spice that somehow makes the drink as comforting as it is refreshing.
