The origin of the Spritz can be traced back to the First World War during the period of Austrian domination in Veneto.

In fact, the troops of the Austrian Empire could not bear the high alcohol content of local wines and used to ask the hosts to add a little water to their glasses, and exclaim: “Spritzen!”

In 1919, the Barbieri Company produced an aperitif destined to make history: Aperol, which was introduced in the Spritz to push the consumption of the new product.

A further evolution that led the Spritz to be what we consume today was the use of a sparkling wine from the Conegliano area: Prosecco, which replaced the still white wine, giving the cocktail greater effervescence.
