In celebration of National Spritz Day on August 1, Italian aperitivo brands Italicus and Savoia are highlighting their contributions to the modern spritz movement. Known for their refined flavor profiles and low-alcohol content, these aperitivos embody the elegance and vibrancy of Italy’s drinking culture—ideal for warm evenings and casual summer gatherings.

To begin, ‘Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto’ is a sophisticated liqueur created by spirits expert Giuseppe Gallo. Infused with Calabrian bergamot and complementary botanicals, it offers a balanced floral-citrus profile. When combined with Prosecco and garnished with green olives, it forms the brand’s signature Italicus Spritz.

Meanwhile, ‘Savoia Rosso’ presents a bold take on the aperitivo with its Marsala wine base and infusion of over 20 botanicals, delivering layers of citrus and spice. Finally, ‘Savoia Orancio,’ the newest expression, introduces a fresh interpretation by blending orange wine with saffron, ginger, and pomegranate. Together, these offerings redefine the spritz as a versatile, elevated, and culturally rooted cocktail.
