Aperol: A Legacy of Flavor and Italian Tradition

The story of Aperol begins in Padua, a historical city in northern Italy, near Venice. The Barbieri brothers, astute entrepreneurs, discovered the potential of leftover oranges that fermented naturally in open-air markets. They refined the formula and in 1919, introduced the world to Aperol, a refreshing and bittersweet liqueur. Its name, “Aperol,” perfectly reflects its purpose—to enhance the ‘Aperitivo’ experience.
