Aperol 1L

Bright orange and a gentle herbal bitterness make Aperol especially suited to a refreshing spritz. Gentian and cinchona help balance its sweetness, while its relatively low strength keeps it lighter than many traditional bitter aperitifs.

Key details

• Italian orange-and-herb aperitif
• 11% ABV for the US expression
• 1 L bottle

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep tightly capped in a cool, dark place. For the best flavor, aim to enjoy within about six months after opening; this is an editorial quality guideline, not a manufacturer expiry date.
