Cappelletti Aperitivo Il Specialino

Known locally as “Specialino,” the Aperitivo Cappelletti may be the oldest style of classic red bitter still in production. Made from a traditional wine base of predominately Trebbiano, Cappelletti is less sweet than its larger commercial rivals and has a delightfully dry finish with bitter citrus undertones perfect for mixing with sparkling wine. It still uses natural Carmine (Cochineal) for color, long prized in garments, food and drink. This beautifully deep crimson red is a great source of pride (and wealth) for the region.Colour :ruby redAroma :sweet, accentuates the wine in harmony with herbs and spicesTaste :persistent, bitter-sweet, wine and spices with light orange aftertaste
