Wine of the Weekend

Amalfi Aperitivo Spritz

Happy (almost) Canada Day! This weekend, we want you to drink Canadian… well, Italian Canadian. Almost 20 years ago, two local boys, Davide and Bruno Codispoti, started bringing their favourite elements of Italian cuisine to Ontario, keying in on their family heritage and adding to the pantry of many of Ontario’s Italian chefs. Their love of the Spritz cocktail soon grew into an obsession to make the perfect Spritz, so we’ll be enjoying Amalfi Aperitivo Spritz all weekend long!

Tasting Notes: Amalfi Aperitivo Spritz uses real sparkling wine and an infusion of herbs, roots, quinine and citrus (orange and tangerine) to create its flavours. This is a classic recipe creating refreshing, bittersweet flavours designed to whet your appetite, closing out your day and preparing you for a joyful meal and a relaxing evening.

Enjoy With: Olives, prosciutto and melon, salami, potato chips or bruschetta. The best pairings for cocktails like Amalfi Aperitivo Spritz are small, simple and flavourful. 

Style: A light, refreshing, bittersweet wine cocktail.

Terroir / Region: Originally, Italian Aperitivo drinks were styled more like vermouth and designed to stimulate the appetite. The creation of the spritz was a way to make these richer drinks lighter and more refreshing, while also making them lighter in alcohol. Today the spritz has been exported from Italy around the world, helping to create a global happy hour! 

Producer: A lot of work went into the flavour of Amalfi Aperitivo Spritz! Through their experience, Davide and Bruno knew that people can taste the difference between an authentic drink and something just thrown together by a big company. They nailed the right flavour so we can enjoy every sip and come back for more.

Availability: Amalfi Aperitivo Spritz is in the Cooler section of your local LCBO. Grab the handle of a 4 pack today and enjoy Aperitivo hour every afternoon of the long weekend!
