The Spritz, Already Spritzed
Sprezza — named for sprezzatura, the Italian art of effortless style — takes its cue from the 1950s northern-Italian producers who carbonated and bottled aromatized wines to drink anywhere. The Rosso can is that idea updated: a dry, bubbly spritz built on Piedmont vermouth rosso and bitters, diluted with mineral water to true spritz strength and carbonated properly, so opening a can is the whole recipe. Keep a pack chilled with the rest of our cocktails and ready-to-drink shelves, or see the range on the Sprezza vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh citrus and bitter orange peel. Palate: Dry and bubbly — caramel, rhubarb and juniper with toasted wood and an amaro-like root character. Finish: Crisp, bitter-citrus and refreshing.
How to Enjoy
Drink it chilled straight from the can, or pour it over ice in a wine glass with a citrus peel; it also works as an effortless base for longer spritz-style drinks.
