Aperol Aperitivo Liqueur

La Dolce Vita in a Glass

Aperol has been the heart of Italian aperitivo culture since 1919, when the Barbieri brothers introduced it at the Padua International Fair. Made from a secret blend of bitter and sweet oranges, rhubarb, gentian, and a proprietary mix of herbs and roots, it delivers a lighter, more approachable bitterness than traditional amari — making it the perfect gateway into the world of Italian aperitivi. Its brilliant orange color and refreshing character have made it a global phenomenon, and the Aperol Spritz one of the most ordered cocktails in the world.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Bright and citrus-forward. Fresh orange, rhubarb, and a gentle herbal bitterness with a hint of vanilla.
• Palate: Light and refreshing. Bittersweet orange leads with subtle herbal complexity and a clean, sessionable character that's never overwhelming.
• Finish: Crisp and clean. Citrus and gentle bitterness fade quickly — refreshing and easy to revisit.
