Aperol Aperitive

The name says it all: Aperol is the perfect aperitif. Bright orange in color it has a unique bitter-sweet taste deriving from a secret recipe that has remained unchanged since its creation. An infusion of precious primary components, many herbs and roots in a perfectly balanced combination.

Aperol originated in 1919 in Padova, it was a product of the Barbieri Brothers who launched the revolutionary idea of an aperitif with an alcohol content of only 11 percent.  From then until today the popularity of Aperol has grown continuously, thanks to its fresh and versatile taste and its capacity to be mixed with so many other drinks. Purchased in the '90s by Barbero 1891, Aperol then entered Gruppo Campari's portfolio, reaching new records of popularity and diffusion.

Aperol should be served chilled, and becomes a great aperitif simply on the rocks. Together with 3 parts of prosecco and a dash of seltzer or Soda, Aperol (2 pares) makes the perfect Spritz, the irresistible Aperol Spritz.
