Mammertsberg presents the ‘Thurgoni’
To mark the two-year anniversary of the new Mammertsberg, Silvio Germann and Giuseppe Lo Vasco are launching the limited bottling of their signature ‘Thurgoni’ in collaboration with Marcado.
Since the reopening of the Mammertsberg in October 2022 in Freidorf (TG) on Lake Constance, the Thurgoni, a Negroni variant with Thurgau ingredients, has been an integral part of the fine dining experience. Sommelier and restaurant manager Giuseppe Lo Vasco works in collaboration with the Macardo Distillery from Amlikon Bissegg. The ingredients, a bitter specially created for the Mammertsberg as an alternative to Campari, Sir Dry Gin and Contessa Vermouth, were bottled in a 55-litre amphora for ageing in the wine cellar at the opening and have since been served as an aperitif. ‘The Thurgoni is an absolute hit with guests. Its bitter notes, slightly lower alcohol content and aromatic depth make it the perfect way to set the mood for a meal at Mammertsberg: local yet cosmopolitan, light and complex at the same time, harmoniously sweet and bitter,’ enthuses Lo Vasco. The search for a name for the cocktail was short - as a tribute to the origin of the ingredients, the Italian-born sommelier and Germann placed the canton of Thurgau centre stage.
The Thurgoni is now available in an exclusive bottling. The 35cl bottle was designed by the Thurgau agency BBK. The striking design incorporates elements from the architecture of the historic Mammertsberg country house, such as the red colour of the bars and geometric shapes.
