Aperol was created in Padua in 1919 by brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri, who took over their father Giuseppe's liqueur company and spent seven years refining the formula before unveiling it at the Padua International Fair. The goal was a lighter, less bitter alternative to the amari already popular in Italy at the time, aimed at stimulating the appetite before a meal rather than overwhelming the palate. The liqueur stayed largely a regional favorite in the Veneto until well after World War II. Gruppo Campari acquired the brand in 2003 and built it into an international name, largely on the strength of the Aperol Spritz.

The recipe remains proprietary, but the company has confirmed its foundation of sweet and bitter oranges, gentian root, rhubarb, and cinchona bark, along with a broader mix of herbs and roots sourced mainly from Piedmont. These botanicals are macerated in neutral alcohol, then blended with water and sugar to reach a finished strength of 11 percent alcohol by volume. Unlike many Italian bitters, Aperol undergoes no aging and is bottled shortly after blending.

The color is a bright, glowing orange, distinctly lighter than Campari's deep red. On the nose, citrus peel comes through first, followed by soft herbal and slightly bitter undertones. The palate is bittersweet and approachable, with orange rind and a touch of gentle bitterness on the finish rather than the assertive bite found in stronger aperitivos.

"Best price in the City"
"Almost 100 years since it was first served, Aperol is still the perfect Aperitivo.

Bright orange in color, Aperol has a unique taste thanks to the secret recipe, which has never been changed. It infuses select ingredients including bitter and sweet oranges, rhubarb and gentian combined with herbs and roots - the true recipe is known to only a handful of people!

While the ideal way to enjoy Aperol is in an Aperol Spritz, the liqueur is a complex progression of flavours and scents when consumed neat.

NoseWhen you hold a glass of Aperol to your nose, you'll smell zesty orange with complex herbal scents, harmonised with a touch of vanilla.

BodyAt first taste, there's an intense orange top with herbal and woody body notes that round out to be pleasantly bittersweet and salty.

TextureAperol feels velvety and rounded on the tongue, with lingering orange and woody notes.

AftertasteThere's a mild bitterness with a hint of sweetness and herbal aftertaste that lingers at the back of the mouth.

Next time you make Aperol Spritz for your friends, take some time to appreciate its unique and delicious flavour."
