Aperol is Italy's iconic orange aperitivo, first created in 1919 by Luigi and Silvio Barbieri in Padua. This 1-liter bottle features Aperol's signature bright orange hue and refreshing bittersweet flavor profile, derived from a secret infusion of 16 premium ingredients including bitter and sweet orange essence, rhubarb, gentian root, and cinchona bark.
With an approachable 11% ABV, Aperol offers a complex tasting experience: lightly alcoholic on the nose with zesty orange and herbal notes complemented by vanilla, intensely orange and pleasantly bittersweet on the palate with a velvety texture, finishing with lingering herbal and bittersweet notes. Aperol is the essential ingredient in the classic Aperol Spritz cocktail, made with prosecco and sparkling water, but also shines in other low-ABV cocktails or simply served over ice with a slice of fresh orange.
