Aperol is huge in Italy, there's no doubt about it! It's catching on in the UK too, even with the inclement weather & iffy summers. To make an Aperol Spritz (their signature serve), place ice in the wine glass, add 2 parts Aperol, 3 parts Prosecco & add the orange slice. Delicious! It's unique flavour & colour is achieved through thier subtle blend of bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb & an array of herbs & roots

- introducing the revolutionary idea of an aperitif with an alcohol content of only 11%. After the second world war, it really took off, becoming a major success in Italian homes & bars. In the early nineties, the Barbieri company was acquired by Barbero & Aperol has developed even further. Today it is enjoyed by over 3.4 million Italians!
