Prosecco

Prosecco is an Italian white win that’s almost always made to be some level of sparkling.

By law it’s made from the Prosecco grape – aka the Glera grape – but up to 15% of the wine is permitted to be made up by other grape varieties.

For Prosecco, we recommend:

Aperol

Aperol is a type of Italian Digestive Bitters.

Considered an aperitif (a drink served before a meal), Aperol is made from Gentian, Rhubarb, and Cinchona and has a vibrant orange hue.

The name Aperol comes from the Italian slang word for Aperitivio (aka aperitif), which is apero.

So Aperol literally means aperitif. 

Aperol was originally created in 1919 by Luigi and Silvio Barbieri, though it did not become popular until after the Second World War.

Now Aperol is owned by the Campari group and in the 00’s saw a resurgence with the popularity of the Aperol Spritz cocktail.
