In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture forms a simple syrup. This should take about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the simple syrup to cool to room temperature, approximately 20 minutes.
In a bowl, combine the cooled simple syrup, Campari, freshly squeezed orange juice, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and orange zest. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until thoroughly cold.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for 20–25 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a sorbet-like consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
Serve the Campari Sorbetto in small scoops as a refreshing intermezzo or light dessert. Garnish with a twist of orange zest, if desired.
