ArtSpritz Aperitivo Bitter

ArtSpritz Aperitivo Bitter is the Italian spritz liqueur from ArtSpritz, a brand of Tosti S.p.A. of Canelli in Piedmont. It is a low-alcohol aperitivo built on orange and infusions of aromatic herbs, made as the base for a spritz and for new aperitivo cocktails. In the glass it is a light orange-red. Bottled at 11% ABV in a 700ml bottle, it is not the ready-to-drink ArtSpritz Ready, which is a separate 8% product.

Nose: Orange in several shades, with gentian and other bitter aromatic herbs.

Palate: Sweet, full and persistent, with pleasant fruity notes.

Serve: The classic mix is 40% ArtSpritz to 60% Prosecco, a splash of soda, ice and an orange peel; it can also be served straight over ice with orange peel and soda.
