Aperol
Invented by the Barbieri brothers in 1919, in Padova. It is a light and fresh aperitif that owes its savors to sweet and bitter oranges, rhubarb, and gentian root.
Usually, the Aperol is served before a meal like an aperitif and has 11% alcohol by volume. The drink does not need any mixt or addition because its light flavor makes it perfect for just that.
