1. 1Combine gin, Lucano, and sweet vermouth in a mixing glass with ice.
2. 2Stir 25 seconds.
3. 3Strain into a chilled rocks glass over a large cube.
4. 4Express orange twist over the surface, drop it in.

Equal-parts geometry with Amaro Lucano replacing Campari. The Basilicata herbs give the Negroni a drier, post-dinner posture without losing the bitter spine. Especially good after a heavy meal where a standard Negroni feels too sweet.
