Beltion Red Bitter Aperitif (1000ml)

In the 1880s an aperitivo culture emerged in Italy, mainly in the North. It attracted imbibers of appetite-stimulating wines and bitter liqueurs. These primarily red-hued, wine or spirit-based drinks were infused with citrus, herbs, spices and roots, then mixed with sweeteners to balance. The slightly less bitter wine-based examples that continue today include Aperol or Select Aperitivo, to name just a few. More bitter, higher-strength expressions are Campari or Meletti. Both are used in Spritzes, Negronis and beyond. Beltion offer a middle-ground with their light and delicately-flavoured "Red Bitter" made from an infusion of herbs, aromatic plants and fruits. It sports a traditional ruby red colour and has a pleasantly bitter taste over a warming background. Use it in citrus-flavoured cocktails or serve it as a pre-dinner refresher over ice. 25% Alc./Vol.
