How would you define Bruno Vanzan in one sentence? The definition I like the most right now is the following: “I earned the title of World Champion bartender twice, I founded BV Holding and I am an entrepreneur who today believes in quality drinking in all of its aspects”. Which have been the most significant stages of your professional growth? One always starts out in the trenches. My journey as a young man, when I was 16-17 years old in a bar in the outskirts, shaped not only my professional life but also my character. I learned that I would need to make many sacrifices and have lots of passion and dedication to reach my goals. Nonetheless, if I may mention some important milestones, they include the first World Championships that I won in 2008, then the intense period when I lived between Africa and the United States. It allowed me to enter the prestigious list of the top ten barman in the world in 2010. There were also many other important events that all contributed to a significant journey. With his constant passion along with his amazing track record of victories and experiences, he dedicates himself to training and to the culture of quality drinking. Which cocktail are you most attached to? I am most attached to not one but three cocktails. Sushi Martini, which won the IBA World Championships in 2016, represents my last competition, so there is a special connection. Iovem&- Tonic, a signature drink with salt foam created for the launch of my first liqueur, represents my new entrepreneurial life in 2019. Moka Martini, a drink prepared with Black Sinner, a coffee-flavoured liqueur, represents my second liqueur in 2023 and celebrates the Espresso Martini made Italian style. 27
