Description
Select Aperitivo traces its roots to Venice, where the Pilla brothers created the recipe in 1920. Crafted from an infusion of 30 botanicals, including bright Seville orange peels, crisp juniper berries, and vanilla, this ruby-red aperitif embodies a century of Venetian café culture. The 1-liter bottle offered here is the original bar size, perfect for entertaining or stocking your bar with an authentic taste of Italy. At a versatile 17.5% ABV, Select delivers depth without overwhelming the palate, inviting creativity in cocktails or leisurely sipping over ice.
On the nose, aromas of bitter orange, rhubarb, and earthy roots mingle with a whisper of spice. The first sip is a dance of bittersweet citrus, herbal complexity, and subtle vanilla softness, finishing clean with a pleasantly lingering bitterness that readies the appetite. Build a classic Venetian Spritz by combining three parts Prosecco, two parts Select, and a splash of soda, garnished with a green olive for tradition. Or explore riffs: add Select to gin for a rosy Negroni variation, or drizzle a measure over sparkling water for a low-ABV refresher.
