A staple of Asti in Northwest Italy since 1891, this is a flavorful, refreshing aperitif. The gentian provides a bitterness that is balanced with quinine and citrus. In the Piedmont region where it originates, it is traditionally served chilled with ice, soda, and orange peel. However, its fruit, spice, and bitter undertones make it perfect for many classic cocktails. It pairs splendidly with pickles, nuts, charcuterie, and cheeses.
