Rinomato L’Aperitivo Deciso is a modern, bitter-sweet Italian aperitivo from Asti, Piedmont. Candied-orange in hue and crafted with a refined blend of citrus peels, gentian, cinchona and wormwood, it favours complexity over sugar for a bright, elegant bitterness. Vegan and artisan-made, it’s a versatile staple for spritzes, highballs and aperitivo hour.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Vivid candied-orange colour with lifted aromas of orange peel and vanilla over gentian, cinchona and wormwood. A gentle initial sweetness carries citrus and spice into a long, steadily intensifying bitter finish that stays poised and textural, delivering refreshment and appetite-teasing lift.

Craftsmanship & Story
Rinomato revives the classic aperitivo tradition of northern Italy with meticulous ingredient selection, small-batch production and a sophisticated extraction and blending regime. Created in Piedmont by a team including renowned bartender Giancarlo Mancino, the Deciso expression balances bright citrus with layered bitter botanicals for a clean, modern profile rooted in 19th-century aperitivi style.
Special Features
Authentic Piedmontese aperitivo with a natural candied-orange colour, vegan credentials and a high-definition botanical bill. Deciso is intentionally less sugary than mainstream aperitivi, delivering clarity of citrus, herbal depth and a precise, lingering bitterness that shines in long drinks and classic aperitivo cocktails.
Cocktail Pairings
Serve tall over ice with soda or tonic for a bracing sipper, or mix the house Spritz Deciso for effortless aperitivo elegance. The Arancione and seasonal Summer Highball add juicy lift (ginger ale works beautifully), while sparkling wine makes a complex Italian spritz. Deciso also plays in modern sours and lighter bitter classics.
Recognition & Accolades
Celebrated for its bright citrus core and impeccably balanced bitterness, Rinomato L’Aperitivo Deciso continues to earn praise from bartenders and aperitivo lovers alike. Recent highlights include a Gold medal at the 2024 Bartender Spirits Awards.
Food Pairing
Designed to spark appetite, Deciso is perfect with Italian antipasti: prosciutto, salami, mortadella, olives and grissini, plus semi-firm cheeses like Pecorino or Grana Padano. Try bruschetta, crostini with ricotta or anchovies, Parmesan crisps and salted almonds. For fresher fare, pair with Caprese salad, grilled zucchini or vegetable frittata. Light seafood such as shrimp cocktail, marinated anchovies or oysters finds a zesty, cleansing counterpoint.
Perfect for Gifting or Sipping
