CAPPELLETTI AMERICANO ROSSO 750ML

Cappelletti Americano Rosso (often called Cappelletti Aperitivo or Il Specialino) is a traditional Italian wine‑based aperitivo from the Cappelletti family in Alto Adige/Trentino. It’s part of Italy’s long‑standing aperitivo culture and sits stylistically between classic Italian bitters like Campari and softer aperitifs like Aperol — but with its own unique profile rooted in wine and botanicals.

Style & Origin

1. Type: Wine‑based aperitif (Americano rosso style)
2. Origin: Trentino‑Alto Adige, Italy (produced by Antica Erboristeria Cappelletti)
3. ABV: ~17%
4. Base: Red wine infused with herbs, citrus peel, spices and bitter botanicals, giving it a vinous texture and dry finish rather than a neutral spirit base.

Tasting Profile

1. Color: Deep crimson red with natural carmine coloring.
2. Aroma: Bright citrus peel, herbal notes and berry hints over a wine‑forward base.
3. Palate: Medium‑bodied and vibrant; citrus zest and rhubarb notes balanced with gentle herbal bitterness and subtle sweetness.
4. Finish: Clean, dry and refreshing with persistent bitter‑herbal layers that stimulate the palate.

Style & Uses

Cappelletti Americano Rosso is a classic Italian aperitivo — meant to be enjoyed chilled on its own or as a key ingredient in cocktails.
