Aperol

Domaine Tempier

Bandol Rosé Blend

Salmon color with copper reflexes. Nose of grapefruit, and Mandarin peel, lemon juice, pink flowers, and petrichor. Faint Aperol on the back. Palate is explosive but not effusive. More grapefruit oil, lemon pith, garrigue, waves of saline minerality and a bright acidity that makes it go on and on. Pretty serious argument on why it deserves its reputation is the best rosé in the world  — 7 months ago

Tili

Riserva Assisi Sangiovese 2012

Dark cherry, stringent, hints of barnyard, rust and earth, complex Sangiovese…..yum! What else can I say. Assisi. What a wonderful place to visit. We walked up to the castle one day and discovered Aperol Spritz on a hot day. The next day we walked down the hill to this wonderful family winery Tili where we discovered this wine. — 3 years ago

Clos de la Bergerie Savennières Roche aux Moines Chenin Blanc 2018

Surprising that it’s so approachable so young. Very loaded yellow color. On the nose bruised and cooked apple, quince, saffron, dried orange peel, maybe a touch of floral honey. Very high aromatic intensity coupled with so much freshness, which you wouldn’t expect with these descriptors. The palate confirms it, more orange peel and hints of Aperol, less saffron, but all very fresh and so balanced, miraculously hiding the whopping 15.5% alcohol!! What a wine, it makes me smile at every sip and demands my attention, I just can’t multitask when having it. — 4 years ago

Gosset

Excellence Brut Champagne Blend

I don’t often drink Aperol Spritzes (OK, that’s a blatant lie) but when I do I prefer Gosset. Actually, Bisol is killer for an Aperol Spritz. This wasn’t real creamy but it was very nice. Citrus, a little tart, lovely. — 7 years ago

Silvio Carta

Aspide Spritz Aperitivo

This can replace Aperol
Everythi g from Silvio Carta is organic and quality is evident in everything he does
Dryer than aperol
A spritz with Aspide is a start of a journey to Sardinia...during summer of course..and by the beach too

Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Rosé Blend 2022

Needs air. Better at 60° than 50. Bitter Aperol quality. Viscous. Orange blossom, guava, kiwi, apricot, and gravel. Alcohol stands out a bit. Likely just needs more time. — a year ago

Morgon Gamay 2019

Goodness this is SO MUCH better than the no-sulphur version. The fruit is pure and shines through, it’s fresh, small red and black berries, bramble fruit, a fizzy quality to it, a touch of aperol orange peel, velvet-smooth yet fresh palate. Fantastic expression of pure Morgon fruit not hidden by overt funk — 4 years ago
