An aperitivo is a ritual, joyous and mood-lifting. It relaxes you after a day of work and prepares you for the night to come. The aperitivo has long been a staple in Italy, and in recent years, has been gaining more appreciation around the world.What does DOC mean?DOC stands for Denominazione di Origine Controllata, meaning "Controlled Designation of Origin," a certification for Italian wines that ensures quality and regional authenticity. Wines labeled DOC must follow regulations regarding grape varieties, vineyard management, etc.By purchasing a ticket to this event, you acknowledge the following: I understand that I am reserving a spot, and reservations for this event are nonrefundable.
