Spider's Kir Royale Italiano

When we went to Buca di Beppo after opening night of Entertaining Guests, sparkling wine was definitely in order. Usually, Italian sparking wine means Asti Spumante, which is just too sweet for me. But in a night when everything went right, they had an Italian sparkling wine called Rotari Brut. Later on, I came up with a way to make it even more festive. Kir Royale is generally champagne combined with cassis, a red currant liqueur. My version uses Italian sparkling wine and Campari, a slightly bitter Italian apertif.
