MIONETTO, THE WORLD’S NUMBER ONE PROSECCO, HAS LANDED IN SA

Truman & Orange has added the world’s leading Italian sparkling wine, Mionetto Prosecco, to its growing portfolio. Following a tradition of excellence in craftmanship since 1887, Mionetto ranks as the leading Prosecco in the world. Its success is attributed to its beautifully delicate style, based on the gentle fruitiness and floral notes of the Mionetto grape which is grown in a protected area called Prosecco, close to Venice in the north of Italy. Mionetto elevates any occasion with a touch of Italian flair and offers bubbly-lovers a taste of the Italian way of life. Available in three variants, Mionetto Prosecco DOC Treviso Brut is a beautifully aromatic wine with notes of honey, black liquorice and acacia blossom, while the Prosecco DOC Treviso Extra Dry is a smooth, crisp wine that replaces the liquorice notes of the Brut with an unmistakable apricot fragrance. The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOC Extra Dry boasts inimitable aromas and flavours of green apple, acacia blossom and full-flowering wisteria.

TRUMAN & ORANGE LAUNCHES MAZZATTI BIRRA SUPERIORE

Truman & Orange founding entrepreneur, Rowan Leibbrandt, explains the latest offering: “South African beer drinkers have historically been offered two types of beer: light, easy-drinking lagers or craft beers with their rich and often unusual flavours. Mazzatti offers the discerning beer drinker a full-flavoured, exceptionally made classic Italian beer brewed with more than one hundred years of history and experience." Mazzatti Birra Superiore is a Birra Tradizione made at a 160-year-old brewery. Brewed using traditional Italian techniques and only the highest quality ingredients, Mazzatti beers are crisp and clean with a fuller, more satisfying body than mass-produced beers.

“Mazzatti Birra Superiore is a premium beer which will appeal to a sophisticated drinker looking for the crisp refreshment characteristic of Italian beers while also satisfying the need for a more full-bodied flavour than other Italian beers available in South Africa,” explains Leibbrandt.

Available in Norman Goodfellows and Makro. For more information visit www.trumanandorange.com

Greenalls The Original Gin

Greenall’s The Original uses the same secret recipe that has been handed down through only seven master distillers. This secret blend of 8 botanicals gives a classic London Dry gin with rich juniper notes, balanced with mature citrus and spice.

These blackberries are combined with raspberries and infused with our award-winning Original London Dry gin.
