Summer aperitif – must have
We have already said that in fine weather the real star becomes the table. In the previous article, we gave you plenty of advice on how not to be caught unprepared and how best to present your summer table. Today we want to talk to you about an important moment that takes place around the table: the aperitif.
It is that moment of the day, before lunch or dinner, when we get together with friends to chat.

Typically Italian, the aperitif cannot but involve sharing food, as well as stories. The table is filled with beverages, both non-alcoholic and alcoholic, and single-portion food that can also be eaten standing up, with the hands or the use of a single fork.
That's why today we propose three must-haves for a unique, recognizable but elegant aperitif table.
Everybody knows the kitchen is the home’s core, a symbol of love and dedication; and our Home Collection Kitchen offers a range of exclusive marble products, created by our craftsmen, with the aim of bringing a unique atmosphere in a healthy and comfortable space.
In the kitchen section, there are more than 50 products to choose from, but we want to talk about three pieces that just can’t be missed if you want to make a good impression with your guests.
Each piece is in a way unique (since each marble block is different in veins and shades) and handcrafted in Italy. Slight variations in shape, colour and size are to be considered a guarantee of a handcrafted creation.
