Aperol Barbieri

Aperol Barbieri is an iconic Italian aperitif renowned for its vibrant orange hue and bittersweet flavor profile. Produced by the Barbieri company, which was founded in Padua, Italy, in 1919, Aperol has become a beloved staple in the world of Italian cocktails and aperitifs. Aperol is crafted from a blend of herbs, roots, and botanicals, with bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona among its key ingredients.

What sets Aperol apart is its distinctive balance of bitter and sweet flavors, with a refreshing citrusy undertone. Its lower alcohol content, typically around 11%, makes it perfect for light, refreshing cocktails, especially during warm weather.

The signature Aperol Spritz has become an internationally recognized classic, featuring Aperol, Prosecco, and a splash of soda water over ice, garnished with a slice of orange. Aperol’s versatility extends beyond the Spritz; it can also be used as a key ingredient in numerous cocktails, adding depth, complexity, and a hint of bitterness to mixed drinks. Its bright orange color and refreshing taste make it a popular choice for social gatherings and celebrations, embodying the convivial spirit of Italian aperitivo culture.
