Select (apéritif)

Select is an Italian apéritif, created in 1920 in Venice by the distillery "Fratelli Pilla & C." and currently produced by Gruppo Montenegro S.r.l.

[1] Select is commonly served in Venice with prosecco and soda water as the Original Venetian Spritz.

[6] In 1954 Select was acquired by Distilleria Jean Buton and later absorbed by Gruppo Montenegro, which still produces it to the original recipe.

The juniper berries undergo a special maceration and distillation process in a copper alembic still, giving Select Aperitivo its fresh and resinous notes.

In Venice, the custom is to serve a Select spritz with soda and prosecco and garnish with a pit-in olive.
