    Expert description

    Aperol Aperitivo BIG BOTTLE is an Italian Herbal liqueur based on sweet and bitter oranges, rhubarb and herbs, bottled at 11% in a large 300 cl bottle.

    Aperol was created in 1919 by brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri in the northern Italian city of Padua, who wanted an aperitif with lower alcohol strength than the other bitter liqueurs of the time. The recipe is still secret, but the signature orange colour and bittersweet taste come from a blend of oranges, rhubarb and a wide range of herbs and roots. Today Aperol is owned and produced by Gruppo Campari. The BIG BOTTLE format is made for parties, receptions and summer events, where many Aperol Spritz need pouring at once.

    Taste

    The nose is refreshing with bitter oranges and a hint of herbs. On the palate, Aperol Aperitivo is bittersweet and easy-drinking with a clear orange character, while the finish is short and cleansing with a pleasant bitterness.

  • Bright pink aperitivo liqueur in a round bottle
    Item no.: 22233-77412

    Where Aperol has its orange, Sarti has its pink - a fresh, sweet aperitivo that tints every spritz the prettiest shade of pink, built on sun-ripened Sicilian blood orange, mango and passion fruit.

    Ekspertens beskrivelse

    Sarti Rosa is an Italian Aperitivo Spritz liqueur at 14% ABV, produced by Sarti in Italy from blood orange, mango and passion fruit.

    Distilleria Sarti was founded in Bologna in 1885 and is today part of the Campari Group, which took over both the distillery and the name in the 1970s. Sarti Rosa is the house's modern take on the classic Italian aperitivo tradition, where the sweetness of sun-ripened Sicilian blood orange, mango and passion fruit gives it a lighter, sweeter profile than the more bitter classics.

    Smag

    The nose is fruity and sweet with clear blood orange and tropical notes of mango and passion fruit. The palate is light, refreshing and less bitter than most aperitivi, with a pleasant sweetness that makes it easy to drink both in a spritz and on its own.

About Aperol Spritz Liqueur

Aperol is an Italian aperitif liqueur, created in 1919 by brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri in Padua, and the very foundation of the global Aperol Spritz wave. For the newcomer it's a light, refreshing, gently bitter experience, lovely with prosecco and soda water; for the connoisseur, the charm lies in how little it takes - Aperol was designed from the start as a milder, more approachable aperitif than the stronger Italian bitter liqueurs, and that very accessibility has become its strength.

History & Background

Aperol was developed in 1919 by brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri in the northern Italian city of Padua, as a deliberate answer to the stronger aperitif liqueurs already on the market. The idea was to create a lower-alcohol liqueur that could be drunk earlier in the day and enjoyed by a wider audience, without compromising on that characteristic Italian bitterness. Through the 20th and 21st centuries, Aperol grew from a regional Italian product into a global summer institution, driven by the explosive popularity of the Aperol Spritz from the 2000s onward.

Production & Style

The liqueur is made from a secret blend of herbs, roots, and citrus fruits, including bitter orange, which gives it its distinctive orange color.

Signature Style

Bittersweet, Citrus, Fresh
The flavor offers a fresh, lightly bitter character with notes of bitter orange and herbs.
