Aperol is an Italian bitter apéritif made of gentian, rhubarb and cinchona, among other ingredients. It has a vibrant orange hue. Its name comes from apero, an Italian slang word for apéritif (aperitivo).
Overall, the blend of zesty citrus, aromatic herbs and mellow vanilla creates a subtle but enticing scent on the nose. Immediately sweet, citrussy and refreshing, that first sip of Aperol offers an intensely orange taste, transporting you straight to the vibrant groves of Calabria.
