This is a French aperitif wine that has been in production since 1865. This aperitif wine is know in France as“ouvre l’appétit”or the key to the appetite. This is fitting since the word aperitif derives from the Latinaperire, which is the verb “to open”, relating to opening up one’s appetite. All aperitifs utilize a bittersweet character that stimulates the production of the gastric juices and promotes appetite.
