How do you select the right apertif for a tart meal?

Aperitifs come in many forms and flavors, but the idea is that they should lean toward the bitter side to stimulate the appetite. A sauvignon blanc, with its dry, sometimes citric taste would be a perfect match for most tart meals.

It’s not actually a mix of spices, but rather the powdered form of the dried fruit of the Pimenta dioica. It’s called allspice because it has a flavor like a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

In Italian cooking, battuto is a chopped mixture of onion, celery and carrot that provides a fragrant vegetable base for savory sauces and hearty soups. Sometimes, a bit of sage, parsley, garlic or diced pancetta is added, depending on the recipe. When lightly fried in olive oil, the battuto is called soffritto, which comes from “sotto friggere” and means barely or under fried.

In 1988, S.Pellegrino® became the first Italian mineral water to be exported to France.
