Aperol
Description
First created in 1919 in Padua, Italy, Aperol is a classic Italian bittersweet apéritif. It is made from a secret infusion of high-quality herbs, roots, and citrus. With an alcohol content of only 11%, it is designed to stimulate the appetite without being overwhelming, making it the perfect “pre-dinner” drink.
