Spirits & Colori, a leading distributor of premium spirits, welcomes Filippo Sisti as its new Corporate Mixology Specialist, marking a bold step in its strategy for growth and innovation. Starting September 1, the internationally renowned mixologist will collaborate with Commercial and Marketing Director Gabriele Rondani to develop initiatives focused on training, promoting drinking culture, and enhancing the company’s portfolio, aiming to elevate Italian mixology with creative, multisensory cocktail experiences.
With over 25 years of experience in global hubs like New York, London, and Paris, Sisti is a trailblazer in “liquid cuisine,” a revolutionary approach that blends high-end culinary techniques with mixology to create cocktails that engage all senses—some even designed to be “eaten.” Having made his mark in Italy with the acclaimed “Carlo e Camilla in Segheria” alongside chef Carlo Cracco, Sisti now brings his international expertise to Spirits & Colori, focusing on innovative drink creations and training programs that highlight the company’s unique portfolio.
“My mission is to craft cocktails that surprise, blending creativity, technique, and innovation,” says Sisti. “Spirits & Colori is a curator of rare gems, and my goal is to champion a contemporary, experimental, and emotional approach to mixology.”
Sisti’s arrival comes at a time of significant growth for Spirits & Colori, with new catalog additions accounting for 30% of its 2024 revenue. As Gabriele Rondani explains, “We’ve seen strong demand for innovation, both in new brands and in advanced mixology that captivates both professionals and enthusiasts. Filippo’s collaboration is a key milestone in our renewal project, supporting our 140 agents across Italy and amplifying our portfolio with his global vision.”
Based in Reggio Emilia since 2016, Spirits & Colori specializes in sourcing and distributing high-quality spirits from small, world-class producers for cocktail bars, wine shops, hotels, and restaurants. With Sisti’s arrival and the continued contributions of key figures like Douglas Cristofoli (Area Manager and Brand Ambassador), Giulia Salmaso, Pietro Zacchini, Massimo Melis, and Simona Cacopardo, the company solidifies its role as a leader in cutting-edge mixology, delighting both professionals and discerning palates.
