The Aperitif in Turin The aperitif was born in Turin more than 200 years ago: in 1786 Antonio Benedetto Carpano starts to produce, in a shop under the arcades of the central Piazza Castello, a flavored wine made with infusion of herbs and spices.
Since then, the vermouth has become the aperitif par excellence and one of the symbols of the city of Turin, as much as in Piedmont.
Today the aperitif time is at the center of city life and is considered a very important moment of the day.
The drink is definitely the hallmark of Turin, can ‘be enjoyed in downtown historic cafes, or find yourself in the new lounge style long-Po.
You can end the afternoon with a drink accompanied by snacks made with typical Piedmontese products such as cheese, breadsticks meats, bagna cauda and fondue, arose number of commercial firms that exported this particular product in Europe and in the world.
