Tad: A very small handful. Our master herbalist, obviously. He and his team are responsible for the whole kit and caboodle, from the purchasing of those botanicals and the storing of those botanicals to the entire production process.

Ca’Select is an open door into Venice, its culture, but also its evolution as a city. It’s a multifunctional space dedicated to the city that will host the very essence of Select’s production that was born in Venice more than 100 years ago, and play host to a bar-mixology area for an authentic tasting experience.

Tad: I just think it's very cool. It's blindly obvious, but not something any of us would ever think about. I just happened to have a lot of time on my hands when I think about these things.

Tad: Absolutely. That's a great point. And I think probably it's never been more important, certainly in our history than now. The idea of the aperitivo bringing people together. The idea of an aperitivo is to unwind after putting in a full day's work, joining friends, joining family, and just celebrating the very simple moments of life.

Method

Tad: Again like many good Italian stories, it is shrouded in mystery and secrets as with most brands, but of the 30, I can I could happily share the two that we find most important when it comes to the defining of the flavour profile and those would be Juniper Berries which I think most listeners would recognise or associate with gin. And we make a distillation of hand-selected Juniper berries, and that brings this beautiful, bright Piney freshness, this eucalyptus walking through a pine forest sort of freshness that really opens everything up when it's the first flavour note. The quality of the ingredients you use will have a big impact on the final flavor of your Select Spritz. Choose for example a good-quality prosecco to ensure the best results. See the recipe below including notes on ingredients, what to serve with it and tips.For the full printable recipe scroll to the bottom. Jump to: Bacareto da Lele: a real institution in Venice, where locals and tourists love to go to for an ‘ ombra de vin’ or an authentic Venetian Spritz. Frequented by university students and professors too, it’s famous for the stuffed micro sandwiches (with salami, cheese, porchetta with or without mustard, mortadella and artichokes, coppa, raw ham and mushrooms). Take a seat along the Fondamenta dei Tolentini and enjoy a Spritz and cicchetti.

On the other hand, Aperol Spritz is made with Aperol, which is a popular aperitivo with a more distinct, vibrant orange flavor and hue. Aperol Spritz is a bit sweeter than Select Spritz and has a more pronounced bitter-sweet flavor. But Select Spritz has more rich flavors of vanilla and ginger and a more vibrant and bright flavor. Tad: Sure. Mario and Victorio Pilla. They were actually, they were two very enterprising young guys. They hailed from another beautiful city in Italy, Bologna, very well healed, very artistic, very craft-oriented city. They want to drink for flavour and the pleasure of the experience. Not necessarily to have more alcohol in their system and certainly not to have the bi-product of the next morning, in the way of a hangover from too much alcohol or, the deleterious effects of alcohol. Today, the Venetian Spritz is nothing less than the main character of any respectable Venetian aperitivo and a genuine favourite of many participants.My other favourite way to drink it is with an ice cold lager or pilsner, if I'm drinking one out of a bottle, I will take a hearty sip and replace what I have sipped with an ounce or so of Select and it's delicious. It makes a sort of Shandy style refreshing sort of beer cooler, and it's really delicious.
