The Aperitivo Cappelletti, endearingly known locally as
just “Specialino”, may be the oldest style of the classic
red bitter still in production. Unlike its larger commercial rivals, Cappelletti is less sweet and has a wonderful drying finish. Additionally, it still uses natural carmine
color for a crimson red and retains a vinous texture from
its wine base. It off ers a vibrant and fl avorful profi le,
complemented by bitter undertones on a traditional
wine base. This yields a Negroni or Spritz that is dry and
refreshing in the fi nish. It is made by the Cappelletti
family, along with a number of other exceptional aperitivi
and amari, just outside of Trento in Alto Adige.
