Aperol was founded by the Barbieri brothers, Luigi and Silvio, who debuted the spirit at the Padua International Fair in 1919 after seven years of experimentation. It became a cultural phenomenon in postwar Italy, eventually launching the world-famous Aperol Spritz ritual that defines modern aperitivo culture.
Created in Padua, Italy, Aperol's secret recipe has remained unchanged since its debut in 1919. Developed by the Barbieri brothers, this iconic liqueur is produced through a meticulous infusion of bitter and sweet oranges, rhubarb, and botanicals.
