Select, the essential ingredient of the venetian spritz, with a classy and
sophisticated Italian touch. Bright, fun yet elegant and refined
Select was created in 1920 in the Castello district of Venice, the historical
heart of the city, at Pilla Distilleries, a place renowned for the art of liquor
making.
During the postwar period the young Pilla brothers contributed to the rebirth of
this magnificent city.
When the popularity of the aperitif began to spread, the Spritz soon became a
favorite, establishing Select as the star of the Venetian cocktail scene.
Thanks to its ancient link with the city and its enduring success, Select is
recognized as the classic Venetian Aperitif. Its refined and complex formula,
inspired by the original recipe, maintains its distinctive flavor.
Select is made by carefully blending 30 botanicals, including juniper berries,
for their balsamic and floral characteristics, with rhubarb root, which provides
intensely bitter notes for balance.
Select is the result of a careful and complicated production process that lasts
no less than nine months and that faithfully follows the steps of the original
recipe to guarantee an excellent quality.
