The White Negroni variation makes more than cosmetic changes. Clarifying the liquid isn't just about aesthetics - gentian root and citrus are given greater prominence in the flavour profile, making this feel cleaner and more angular than the deep-red original. The aroma is delicate: lemon zest, white pepper, and a crisp herbal quality. On the palate, citrus peel bitterness leads, with gentian root providing a structured backbone underneath. Floral notes run through the mid-palate. Carbonation is light and doesn't obscure the botanicals. The finish is dry and bitter with citrus peel lingering. It sits closer in spirit to a Suze-style aperitif than the original Phony Negroni. If bitterness without the warmth of dark botanicals sounds more appealing, this is the one to try.
