About this product
Sardinia’s Bold Aperitivo.
Silvio Carta Aspide Spritz is a vibrant Sardinian aperitivo that reimagines the classic spritz with a bold, Mediterranean twist. Crafted from a meticulous infusion of native Sardinian citrus fruits—such as bitter orange and pompia citron—and wild botanicals like myrtle leaves and sage, this aperitivo offers a unique blend of flavors that set it apart from traditional Italian spritzes. With its striking strawberry-red hue and an alcohol content of 11%, Aspide Spritz delivers a refreshing and aromatic experience, making it a standout choice for those seeking something different in their aperitivo repertoire.
Why we love it:
Aspide Spritz captivates with its harmonious balance of sweet and bitter notes, complemented by a subtle savory finish. The infusion of local citrus fruits imparts a zesty brightness, while the wild botanicals add depth and complexity. Its lower alcohol content makes it an ideal choice for extended sipping sessions, whether you're enjoying a sunny afternoon in Sardinia or a relaxed evening in Ireland.

Serving suggestion
Aspide Spritz is best enjoyed chilled, served over ice in a wine glass, and garnished with a slice of orange or a sprig of rosemary. Its vibrant flavor profile makes it a perfect companion for light appetizers, seafood dishes, or as a refreshing pre-dinner drink. In Ireland, it pairs wonderfully with local cheeses or smoked salmon, offering a delightful contrast to the rich flavors.
