Cappelletti Should Be the First Bottle You Add to Your Bar This Spring
Prepare to get to know Cappelletti if you have not already, and discover why it is the bottle that has been absent from your bar for so long. The aperitif is slightly sweet, herbal, and bitter. In addition, it has a pleasant, mild flavor, is relatively low in alcohol, and is so refreshing that you can enjoy it cold over ice with just a citrus garnish. Think of it as the more palatable cousin of Campari.
