What is Aperol?
Aperol is the perfect aperitif! Bright orange in color, with a unique bittersweet taste, Aperol is the product of 7 years of hard work and experimentation by Luigi and Silvio Barbieri. It is an infusion of oranges, herbs, and roots in a perfectly balanced combination that delights the senses.
For almost 100 years, Aperol has grown in popularity all over the world. It is one of the most widely consumed cocktails in Italy. Light, sparkling, and refreshing, an Aperol Spritz is the quintessential social signature drink. It can be enjoyed before a meal as a true Italian aperitif, or as a lighter option at an after-work get-together.
