It's called Spritz. It's absolutely amazing and delightful.
At the bar you are immediately confronted with the question wether you are sweet or bitter in taste - because the Spritz comes in two versions!
Basically it's an aperitivo based on a sort of sweet/bitter alcohol mixed with either Prosecco or Spumante... but since processo are produced in the area you don't get to choose. Who cares, anything with bubbles are welcome.
So the sweet version spitz are mixed with Aperol (the sweeter brother of Campari) hints of bitter orange, rhubarb, chinchona, genziana and a secret combination of herbs. And the bitter version is the same, but with Campari.
It's now a national phenomenon.
