"Among the canon of Italian spirits, Aperol and the Aperol Spritz cocktail are classics, available at a growing range of America's best bars. The lurid red hue is recognizable from across the room. It's light on every countin terms of alcohol content, sweetness level and texture. The gentle sweet-bitter profile goes down easyespecially when lightened with bubbles."

"Aperol's unique flavor and color is achieved through a subtle blend, with a perfect balancing of different erbs and roots. The ingredients' quality allows a very low alcoholic strength: 11Vol. A secret recipe that has been unchanged since its first creation in 1919. Please note: the bitter and sweet Aperol taste is not a banality, it is perfectly "aperitivo"." ~ Distillery notes
