Spritz

The most famous Italian Aperitivo has very old origins. It was born at the end of 18th century when Austrian soldiers started tasting Veneto wines which they found too strong for their taste so, to lighten the wine they started adding sparkling water to it, in fact, Spritzen in German means To Spray.

The Spritz, as we know it today, was born i 1920 when Italian bartenders started using Prosecco mixed with bitter, soda and an orange slice in the drink, until it becomes an official IBA drink in 1970.
