Select Aperitivo 17,5% ABV 70cl - The Essential Ingredient for the Original Venetian Spritz, Italian Aperitif, Since 1920

Product Information

Tad: All of us are certainly one of the best bites. Again, that the brinyness does pair very well with everything that's going on in the Venetian spritz or the Select Spritz. But so does cured meats, prosciutto or Copa or even things like mortadella, all kinds of salamis, salumi, because you get the fat and the spice and the salts as well. Mixed nuts go very well. But so do things like oysters. We've found out through our own testing really that oysters and shellfish, anything with umami sort of flavours really goes very well.

And they understood the importance of Venice and the importance of helping to revitalize Venice. So instead of opening their distillery to make liqueurs and brandies and aperitivo bitters, they chose to move the operation and build it in the centre, the absolute centre, the historical centre of Venice. So they did that and launched Select aperitivo in 1920. Tad: A very small handful. Our master herbalist, obviously. He and his team are responsible for the whole kit and caboodle, from the purchasing of those botanicals and the storing of those botanicals to the entire production process. Today, the Venetian Spritz is nothing less than the main character of any respectable Venetian aperitivo and a genuine favourite of many participants. Tad: I would call it medium bitterness. It's certainly a more bitter than some, it's more bitter than Aperol, as I mentioned before. But decidedly, less bitter than brands like Campari. So it's exceptionally well balanced. It's assertive, it's robust. It is present but never overwhelmingly bitter.

During the postwar period the young Pilla brothers contributed to the rebirth of this magnificent city.

Jump to: Ice first, ⅓ of still white wine (or prosecco), ⅓ Aperol, ⅓ soda and an orange slice. Usually served on a goblet.Cold still water or club soda can be used as a substitute. This will not result in the same effervescence, but will still provide a light and crisp quality to the drink. We call them baking spices and we associate them with winter, which I always find funny because where they're from in India, Sri Lanka, the Spice Islands, the Moluccas, there is no winter and those flavours are cooling flavours actually. So lots of that and then tightly wrapped up with that really elegant assertive bitterness from the Rhubarb root.

It is for this reason that I am so sceptical of vegan pizza, and vegan cheese in general, even though I know it must be part of a sustainable future. To be honest, I’m sceptical of pretty much any vegan alternative. The best vegan meals I’ve had are simply great vegetables, beans and pulses etc, dishes that just happened to be vegan and were eaten long before the word was even invented.

Select is made by carefully blending 30 botanicals, including juniper berries, for their balsamic and floral characteristics, with rhubarb root, which provides intensely bitter notes for balance.

"The desire to prolong the moment before the dinner. It's an excuse to drink, nibble and stay together a little longer before going home." Tad: Yes. Yes. It's. It wouldn't be, it wouldn't be an Italian story without some measure of mystery and intrigue, and maybe some rivalry, but yes, select is, and was, the original, aperitivo of Venice. On the other hand, Aperol Spritz is made with Aperol, which is a popular aperitivo with a more distinct, vibrant orange flavor and hue. Aperol Spritz is a bit sweeter than Select Spritz and has a more pronounced bitter-sweet flavor. But Select Spritz has more rich flavors of vanilla and ginger and a more vibrant and bright flavor.Tad: Sure. Prior to world war II, Venice was one of the most important hubs for travel and tourism during the golden age of Europe. And just an incredibly vibrant, dynamic city. And during world war one, it was ravaged financially, especially, and then after World War I, there was this intense and pretty immediate desire to recapture that and recapture that sort of idea of being this crown jewel of travel and tourism in Europe, in Italy. So there was this just intense need to recapture that idea, the vibrance and the the sort of familial aspect and the joys of people being together.
