DETAILS: Historically a Northern Italian concept from Genoa to Milan and Venice, Aperitivo Hour is flush with appetizing beverages and small bites. Solo Italiano will embrace this tradition and open the doors to its bar area and patio for Portland Wine Week's visitors and showcase Aperitivo Hour's full, authentic experience. Chef Paolo Laboa, a native of Genoa, will curate an array of complimentary small bites to pair with appetizing wines, vermouths, and/or wine-based spirit cocktails. Opportunities to relax and taste your way through a flight of vermouth, while learning a bit about this dynamic of wine culture abound. The goal is to be in the company of friends, food, and beverage—the true trifecta of a rich, social culture, and something that has found a renewed sense of purpose these days.
