Calling all coffee aficionados! Get ready to discover the intense taste of the new Milano Intenso limited-edition coffee, and the full collection inspired by the stylish soul of Milan.
Nespresso is kicking off the year in style with Italian fashion icon, Chiara Ferragni, who has embarked on a journey of discovery through her love for coffee in a four-part short film series. Inspired by delicious flavours and regional Italian coffee traditions, Chiara co-developed a limited-edition collection with Nespresso, expanding the Ispirazione Italiana range with the launch of the Milano Intenso coffee, accessories and a coffee machine that pay tribute to the urban vibes and contemporary tempo of Milan.
Chiara begins her journey into the interesting history of Rome’s coffee culture, as well as the customs and inventiveness of the lovely city, with the help of famous historian Filippo Cosmelli. Together, they travel to well-known places like Antico Caffè Greco, where they savour a Roma espresso and learn about Italian roasting customs.
Her voyage continues via Milan, the city that truly inspired the look, flavour and notes of Milano Intenso coffee, drawing inspiration from iconic sites like Villa Necchi, Palace Montedoria, and the Duomo Cathedral. The limited-edition collection features the Duomo’s gold spires and Villa Necchi’s distinctive geometric deep green pattern with gold embellishments, uniting coffee lovers around the world with timelessness and traditional emotions.
A Taste Of Italy Inspired By Milan
The limited-edition expansion of Nespresso’s Ispirazione Italiana 2023 range welcomes Milano Intenso, designed to allow coffee enthusiasts to celebrate the vibrant city of Milan. Finding a balance between jammy fruity notes and a shimmer of spice, the coffee will take people to a place of artistic heritage, luxurious lifestyle, and superior taste. Milano Intenso encompasses the elegance, history, and coffee expertise of Italy.
Igniting the senses with a classic combination of roasted-cereal and cocoa notes, coffee drinkers can expect to get hints of bread and dark chocolate with every sip they take. Nespresso recommends the coffee is sipped as a cappuccino, highlighting the hints of pepper, berry and funky fruity notes. The coffee uses a split roast technique, with the majority being medium roasted, and the minority composed of the Robusta portion and roasted to a very dark degree.
Elegantly Crafted Accessories
The limited-edition collection is also comprised of Nespresso’s limited-edition set of two matte black and gold espresso cups, allowing consumers to enjoy their coffee in style. Coffee lovers can also get their hands on a limited-edition Nespresso CitiZ coffee machine with an Italian twist – wrapped in a striking artwork reminiscent of Milan’s Villa Necchi Campiglio and ideal for enjoying Nespresso’s Ispirazione Italiana coffee range, including Milano Intenso.
Coffee aficionados can now sip in style with the limited-edition Ispirazione Italiana collection developed in collaboration with Chiara Ferragni. The Ispirazione Italiana Milano Intenso is priced at RM3.20 per capsule, while the set of two matte black and gold espresso cups are retailed at RM159.
