How was Aperitivo born?
Since ancient Roman times, people have been drinking wine accompanied by appetizers to stimulate the appetite. Over the centuries, the concept of the aperitivo changed, until the 18th century, when a bartender from Turin invented the first aperitif liqueur: Vermouth.
In the years that followed, the custom of enjoying a glass of wine to whet the appetite before dinner became even more widespread. Even today, the aperitivo is part of the daily life of millions of Italians

A time to share thoughts, feelings, and information, preferably enjoyed in good company.
Treat yourself to a moment of peace while savoring the delights the region has to offer, a social yet intimate occasion to dedicate to yourself and your guests.
What is the Aperitivo composed by?
