Bellini History

The Bellini was created in 1948 by Giuseppe Cipriani, founder of Harry's Bar in Venice, Italy.

The cocktail's subtle pink hue resembled the color of a saint's robe in paintings by 15th-century Renaissance artist Giovanni Bellini, inspiring its name.

Originally a seasonal cocktail made only with in-season white peaches, its worldwide popularity led to year-round availability. Harry's Bar, frequented by celebrities like Hemingway, has become a symbol of Italian cocktail culture alongside the Bellini.
