His name is a tribute to the former Italian boxer Primo Carnera, nicknamed ''The American''.
The recipe proposed here has its roots in a wonderful land, Emilia: the year is 1814 , and the Antica Distilleria Casoni is born in Finale Emilia (Modena). This cocktail traces the history of the distillery with the two main ingredients of the Americano: Casoni Bitter 1814 and the new Casoni Vermouth 1814 , to which the inevitable soda top is added.
For an American with an all-Italian taste!

Casoni Bitter 1814 : the bitter aperitif, with an intense and decisive flavour.
It is made from a mixture of herbs infused in alcohol, the result of which is a
product with an optimal alcohol content for the preparation of various
aperitif cocktails.
Casoni Vermouth 1814: the new Casoni Vermouth, decisive, with hints
citrusy and persistent on the palate. Trebbiano wine born among the vines of the Emilian territory, a fine infusion of Artemisia and a heart of other fragrant aromatics: this is where all the taste of this fortified wine comes from.
