The Belladonna takes inspiration from the 17th century italian poison Aqua Tofana. Aqua Tofana was allegedly made and sold by Giulia Tofana in Palermo and then eventually in Naples, Rome and Perugia. Legend has it that when MOzart fell seriously ill and he began to speak of death, he was convinced someone had him poisoned with Aqua Tofana. The poison was colourless and odourless, and it would kill a man with a slow death, hence its popularity during the dark periods where women were considered chattels to be auctioned off into marriages. The Absinthe rinse, Vodka, Cocchi Americano and Rosolio di Bergamotto are the ingredients that give Belladonna its boldness, while the Marendry gives the Belladonna its distinctive taste. Bold and elegant. The paint is made by mixing the Amarena syrup and Marendry with Xantham Gum, and gives the Belladonna an elegant finish and sweet taste, if drunk on that side. The Amarena used to garnish the Belladonna, were first created by Lady Rachele, a woman so loved by her husband, he celebrated her Amarena recipe with the very first white and blue jar of Amarena, starting a new venture, producing the bespoke Amarena Fabbri.
