In a country as culturally diverse as Italy, where regional differences in language, cuisine and drinking practices remain distinct even 150 years after unification, naming a national aperitif would be borderline blasphemy.

In the Veneto region alone, around 300,000 of these wine-based Aperol cocktails are sucked down daily, according to Campari.
