Country: Italy Region: Sesto San Giovanni Varietals: Select ingredients including bitter and sweet oranges, rhubarb and gentian combined with herbs and roots – the true recipe is known to only a handful of people! Alcohol: 11% A must for Aperol spritzes. Made by Campari with same sugar content but less bitter and half the alcohol content. Tasting: When you hold a glass of Aperol to your nose, you’ll smell zesty orange with complex herbal scents, harmonised with a touch of vanilla. At first taste, there’s an intense orange top with herbal and woody body notes that round out to be pleasantly bittersweet and salty. Aperol feels velvety and rounded on the tongue, with lingering orange and woody notes. There’s a mild bitterness with a hint of sweetness and herbal aftertaste that lingers at the back of the mouth.
