Apertivo is a bitter-orange based aperitif. It’s less bitter than Campari and mixes really well with ingredients that more intense amari might overwhelm. This light and refreshing drink comes from the Veneto.
The popular Spritz is made with Prosecco (Italian sparkling wine), Luxardo Apertivo and a splash of sparkling mineral water.
In March 2014, Luxardo Aperitivo won The Ultimate Spirits Challenge tasting which was held in New York, USA by the spirits industry's most renowned judges, which include award-winning authors, spirits buyers, journalists, educators, bar owners and consultants.
Aperitivo is an orange flavored spirit and a nice alternative to Aperol.
