Aperol originated in Padua, Italy and while it was originally created in 1919, it did not become successful until after World War II. This Italian aperitif is made of bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona. In 2007, Wine Enthusiast rated Aperol in its 90-95 point category, along with receiving double gold medals at the 2010 and 2012 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This bright orange colored aperitif has a magical infusion of sweet and bitter oranges along with a brilliant mix of herbs and roots, with low alcohol content.
