Select is the base of the Venetian spritz: pour it over ice with prosecco and a splash of soda, then garnish with a green olive. It goes well with cicchetti, olives, crisps and salty cured meats.

Expect a deep ruby red with bitter orange, rhubarb and juniper, balanced by gentle sweetness and herbal, slightly balsamic notes. The finish is bitter and lingering.
A good bottle for spritz fans who want the original Venetian version, or for anyone building an Italian aperitivo shelf.
