Truffled Fizz Cocktail
29th June 2023
Truffles and Prosecco are two of the finest luxuries this world has to offer, we often enjoy the likes of Sparkling Wine with Truffles in the form of food, on pasta, with eggs or in cheese, but now we’re trying something slightly different, we’re including the truffle in a Glass of Bubbly Cocktail.
Prosecco – Bianchin
The Vineyards of Bianchin are located in the heart of Montello, where nature and memories unite, shining light on a glorious past for the Bianchin family.
Responsible for the production of their Asolo Prosecco DOCG, the family takes great care in nurturing their vines, with the hope that the terroir of the land is captured within the fruit and that it speaks its greatness and shares its secrets in nobility and shares its richness in spirit.

Gin – Exmoor Distillery
Named after the historic estate of Exmoor, Exmoor Distillery is nestled amongst the steep wooded valleys on the southern edge of Exmoor.
Exmoor Distillery was founded in 2017, being the lifelong ambition of founders John & Nicola, both sharing a taste for high-end spirits and combined expertise in engineering and business.
“After sampling many of the world’s gins and rums on our travels, there was nothing that quite hit the spot, so we decided to produce our own. Our clients love our spirits and never fail to be impressed with the bursting natural flavour and unexpectedly smooth textures.” – John
