Paolo De Martin – Beverage Mentor

Entrepreneur, brand ambassador and beverage mentor Paolo De Martin’s roots are in a small village near Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Italian Dolomites. As his grandfather Eduardo De Martin mixed the first SpriZZerò with his sister in his Bar Centrale in 1934, he laid the foundation for Paolo’s career – long before he was even a twinkle in his parents’ eyes.
As part of a family of restaurateurs in Laufen, Paolo learned to work hard and think strategically early.
After completing training in the hotel and restaurant business at the Instituto alberghiero ENAIP, Paolo studied fashion design at the Instituto Marangoni. In 2007 he took his experience from the hospitality industry and mixed it with his creative streak and a more than 70-year-old, top-secret family recipe, making the SpriZZerò his special project. He created an authentically strong brand – one that represents the Italian lifestyle. It became an incredibly trendy drink and was taken over by Mumm/Rotkäppchen in 2015.
Paolo is still SpriZZerò brand ambassador today. As a mentor, he shares his experience and supports founders of new beverage brands with his expertise and network. CapiZZi?

SpriZZerò – The Success Story

It all began in 1934 when Eduardo De Martin mixed a new aperitivo in his Bar Centrale, located in a small village near Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Dolomites. Together with his sister, who possessed an incredible wealth of knowledge about herbs, they came up with a closely guarded family recipe for the aperitivo known as SpriZZerò.
The two first sold SpriZZerò to local bars in five-litre bottles. It was when grandson Paolo De Martin took over SpriZZerò that the family tradition became a proper brand.
The aperitif pre-mix in the elegant cans conceptualized by Paolo quickly became popular in ski chalets and has continued on its path towards success ever since. Born in Italy, it spread throughout Austria to Germany and back to Italy. In 2018, it even successfully made the jump across the pond, giving the USA a taste of the Italian lifestyle. Sprizzerò De Martin is an aperitivo enjoyed everywhere, from the ski slopes to beach parties in Florida.
In addition to the original Sprizz Bitterorange, SpriZZerò is available in Sprizz Hugo, Pink Grapefruit, Secco Rosato and Secco Bianco.
