Parampampoli

Parampampoli is an alcoholic drink made with wine, coffee, honey, grappa (fruit brandy), and caramelized sugar. The drink was invented in the 1950s by Purin Giordano at Rifugio Crucolo, a mountain tavern located near Valsugana in the municipality of Scurelle.

The exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, but in addition to the basic ingredients, the drink also includes a secret list of spices. Parampampoli is first heated then flambéed before it is served in ceramic cups. This wintertime drink is mostly enjoyed in alpine huts and on Christmas markets.
