I remember drinking these in Italy in the late 90s-early 2000s. You don't see them on the menu in the tourist areas; you need to ask or go to the small villages to enjoy. Life is better in those places anyway.

Simply sublime.

My husband’s mom used to make a lower-alcohol version of this drink by mixing Campari and lemon-lime soda. That might be too sweet for some people, but we thought it was refreshing—and beautifully colorful!

When I was in Camogli in the 1990's I was drinking these by the pool. I thought they were a way of serving day old wine in a refreshing way. The name was a hat tip to keeping the old wine going - it's not done yet.

Really delicious- simple to make but a nice complex flavor. Great summer drink!

Any suggestions for a nonalcoholic version?

You might try a nonalcoholic “spirit” like Seedlip Grove, which has notes of orange & ginger, instead of the Campari. Top w soda water and add some orange bitters (look for an NA version if needed).

On a low alcohol trend Lemon spindrift and Campari . My go to for light drinking and added hydration!
