"Uniqueness, legacy, taste: in no other city in the world are these concepts as valuable as in Venice. And it is no coincidence that the story of Select Aperitivo began right here, in the district of Castello, the historical heart of this intriguing city. The year was 1920 and Venice was in deep turmoil following World War I. The young Pilla brothers, with their distillery and expertise in the art of making liquors, seized this unique moment and used it to their advantage. Venice was at a turning point: people were just beginning to venture out again and rediscover life’s pleasures. The act of enjoying an aperitif with friends spread throughout the city and Select Aperitivo assumed the starring role in this new cocktail scene. Almost a century has passed, but today, Select Aperitivo is still known as the true icon of the Venetian aperitif: a unique bitter that is served at the iconic bars in the Lagoon and by bartenders around the world, eager to offer something unique and special." —producer

"LOOK at the platinum color; the body and texture. FEEL the viscosity and the quality of the liquid and notice how the aromas stay on your hands. SMELL the top notes of cooked agave, sweet potato, cinnamon and a hint of dulce de leche. SIP and experience the taste of those aromas. Sip again and notice citrus and tropical fruit notes." —producer

"Ferreira Dona Antónia has a beautiful red colour, with intense tawny shades that recall its slow maturation in wood. Its bouquet is intense and rich with hints of very ripe fruit (plum, apricot, and marmalade) and floral notes. Complex, its spice and dry fruit notes derive from the evolution in oak wood, through oxidation. In the mouth, it is a full-bodied and rich-flavoured wine, extremely well-balanced, that combines elegance with a delicate yet persistent finish. Ferreira Dona Antónia is a most versatile Porto wine. It is very good served on its own, accompanying some selected entrées, or as dessert wine. It also beautifully accompanies most sweets, dessertsm and cheeses. Serve slightly cold for fuller appreciation." —importer
