Weekend Aperitif: Amaro Venti
The name "Venti" in Italian means twenty, representing the 20 regions of Italy from which the ingredients of this drink are sourced: Calabrian bergamot, lavender, and more.
Amaro Venti boasts flavors of nuttiness, refreshing citrus bitterness, and a subtle sweetness beneath all this richness.
The Italians enjoy it neat with ice and an orange slice or with a splash of soda, and I completely agree with them. A perfect weekend drink.Price: NIS 170
Weekend Wine: Marcel Martin Chenin Blanc
A wonderful white that balances sweetness and acidity. Lemon and orange on the nose, tropical notes, and a hint of nuttiness on the palate. This wine is fruity, refreshing, crisp, and slightly spiced.
What to Pair It With: Fish and pasta, and save a sip for dessert as this wine pairs beautifully with fresh fruits or cheesecake.Price: NIS 66
