White Nights with Elderflower Aperitivo

When the sun goes down and the bar’s lights come on, the ritual of the aperitif springs to life. That moment marks the end of the day and the start of a delightful break, and it’s time for Gamondi’s Aperitivo Fiori di Sambuco to flow into the glasses.

Gamondi’s Aperitivo Fiori di Sambuco

Starting with an infusion of white starshaped elderflowers that grow wild in the Langhe hills, this aromatic wine is made with Moscato d’Asti DOCG. This ingredient sweetens the aperitivo, pleasing the palates of anyone seeking lightness and familiar flavours. Igor Tuliach, bartender and brand ambassador of Gamondi Spirits, underlines its uniqueness: “With every sip, the Moscato’s madeleine effect evokes an emotion from the past. With its 21 per cent alcohol, resulting from the fresh flowers’ infusion in alcohol, it creates a bouquet ranging from floral notes to fresh fruit and citrus, with an unmistakable round and velvety edge.”

An Elegant Bottle

Recalling the elegant shape of an evening dress, the hexagonal bottle is inspired by the Bollente thermal spring in Acqui Terme, where founder Carlo Gamondi was born. Versatile and refined, this aperitif can be enjoyed straight or used as a base for cocktails, from the “moonlike” Hugo to the Tutto Bianco and Belle Époque signature recipes.
