Select

Select is the Venetian aperitif created in 1920, when the Pilla brothers made it with the aim of contributing to the social and economic revival of post-war Venice. The name comes from the Latin "selectus", chosen, and for over a hundred years Select has been linked to the ritual of the Venetian spritz.

The original recipe has never changed. Select is born from the union of 30 botanicals from around the world, among which rhubarb root and juniper berries stand out, each macerated separately. The juniper berries undergo a special process of maceration and distillation in a copper pot still, which imparts fresh, resinous notes and makes the taste more structured and persistent.

The ingredients are gently macerated and the infusion is gently warmed to obtain the botanical extract. The result is a low-alcohol aperitif, 17.5% vol., with five notes—floral, herbal, citrus, balsamic, and spicy—balanced between sweet and bitter.

It is the base ingredient of the Select Spritz, made with Prosecco, soda water, and a green olive. With the same production method since 1920, Select brings the atmosphere of the Venetian aperitivo to every glass.
