Italian-style botanical soda — classic aperitivo, ALTA (Copy)

Classic aperitivo aromatics · Extra-dry finish · Non-Alcoholic Italian-style botanical soda with the flavor profile of a Negroni—pink citrus bite, warm fruity spice—but the crisp, refreshing character of a dry sparkling wine. Chinotto from the Calabrian coast, juniper berry, orris root, mandarin orange, allspice berry, clove bud, anise—each extracted separately, then blended with lemon juice and Demerara cane sugar (pressed directly from sugar cane to retain its molasses character and subtle mineral notes) at 4g per can. Mediterranean sea salt provides mineral finish and enhances citrus notes. Balanced acidity cuts through rich dishes, cleanses the palate, doesn't compete with what's on the plate. Like a Torino sidewalk café at dusk—bright bitter citrus, the warmth of spice, aperitivo hour in full swing. Serve cold. Glass and garnish optional.
