The season of the Spritz is like sunshine itself.
Bright flavours, an effervescence sensation, combining bubbles with a classic Italian zest. The spritz is a deliciously refreshing drink. Nothing chills the frills like a Spritz by the pool.
Put together a luscious platter bursting with seasonal produce, and gather your friends around. And of course, it wouldn’t be an aperitivo hour without the perfect Spritz.
CIN CIN!
