LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The ultimate session bitter. It's approachable, beautiful, and possessing a unique 'orange-soda-for-adults' quality that makes it impossible to dislike.

The Library Note

Created by the Barbieri brothers in Padua, Aperol was designed as a lighter alternative to heavier Italian bitters. Its name comes from the French slang for apéritif ('apéro'). Its global explosion came with the rise of the 'Aperol Spritz,' which transformed it into a symbol of the Italian 'Dolce Vita'.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Zesty orange, complex herbal scents, and a hint of vanilla.

THE PALATE

Velvety and rounded with dominant bittersweet orange notes, supported by a delicate herbal bitterness and woodsy undertones.

THE FINISH

Refreshing and herbal with a lingering orange glow.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

The 'Aperol Spritz': 3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts Aperol, 1 part soda water. Build in a large wine glass with ice and garnish with an orange slice. The bubbles perfectly lift the herbal complexity.
