Beverages
The soft drinks and beverage market is highly concentrated in Italy. The sparkling fruit beverages range keeps on expanding with unique new flavors, an inventive blend of fresh and juicy ingredients that satisfy different tastes and preferences and offer something for everybody to enjoy.
Since 1899, S.Pellegrino has been exporting excellence around the globe to become an international icon of taste and elegance. Limonata, Chinotto, and other beverages, all part of the range of Sanpellegrino Sparkling Fruit Beverages, are introduced on the market as natural and refreshing beverages.
The fruits are harvested in Sicily, frozen, and sent to San Pellegrino Terme to be added to the beverages. The current roaster of flavors includes Aranciata (orange), Limonata (lemon), Pompelmo (grapefruit), Aranciata Rossa (blood orange), Melograno & Arancia (pomegranate and orange), Clementina (Clementine), and Ficodindia & Arancia (prickly pear and orange).
Chinotto is a type of carbonated soft drink produced from the juice of the fruit of the myrtle-leaved orange tree. The beverage is dark in color. Its appearance is similar to that of cola, but it is not as sweet as cola, having a bittersweet taste. The drink was known in antiquity as a dark-hued, bitter-tasting variant of orange juice, and was considered as a refreshment.
