Straight answers
How much do I use?
One part mixer to three parts sparkling water. Start there and adjust to taste.
Is it sweet?
Lightly. No sugar is added: the sweetness is cooked grape must, balanced by a gentle tang and the bittersweet herbs.
Juniper or orange?
Juniper is fresher and more herbal, great with mint and lime. Orange is citrusy and a little peppery, great with orange sparkling water.
Can I cook with it?
Yes. It's a balsamic condiment first: use it in marinades and dressings, and on fruit.
Made by Gocce Italiane, a fourth generation family in Modena, on a farm that dates to 1871. They grow their own grapes. Meet the family
