Sarti Rosa Aperitivo (750ml)

An Italian aperitivo liqueur in the herb and spice tradition, this bottling comes from Distillerie Sarti. It sits in the same broad family as the pink and red aperitivi that anchor the Italian pre-dinner ritual, built on a base of botanicals rather than a single dominant flavor.

Expect the bittersweet balance that defines the style, with a rosy hue and layered herbal, spiced notes leading into a gentle bitterness on the finish. It works over ice with a splash of soda, or lengthened with sparkling wine for a lighter spritz, and it plays well as the opening act to a meal.
