Tasting Notes & Serving Suggestions
In the Glass: Pours a vivid, luminous magenta-pink.
On the Nose & Palate: The aromas are clean and immediately welcoming, led by fragrant passion fruit and ripe mango alongside the tangy zest of Sicilian blood orange. On the palate, it strikes an easy balance between gentle sweetness and a brisk citrus tang. Unlike more medicinal, bitter aperitifs, Sarti Rosa leans squarely into bright tropical fruit, finishing clean, crisp, and thirst-quenching.
The Signature Sarti Spritz: Build over plenty of fresh ice in a generous wine glass:
3 parts (75ml) chilled Dry Prosecco
2 parts (50ml) Sarti Rosa
1 part (25ml) Soda water
Garnish with a fresh wedge of lime or grapefruit.
Food Pairings: Its juicy fruit profile makes it an effortless partner for savoury, salty snacks that cut through the fruitiness. Serve alongside salted Marcona almonds, green Castelvetrano olives, simple focaccia, or a board of mild cured meats and grissini.
About the Producer
The Sarti name has deep roots in Italian distilling history, originating with Distillerie Sarti, founded in Bologna in 1885. Renowned for decades for its craft liqueurs and brandies, the historic label is now part of the Milan-based Campari Group. With Sarti Rosa, the house revisits traditional Italian aperitivo culture with a modern twist, responding to drinkers looking for all the conviviality and colour of an afternoon spritz without the assertive bitterness of traditional amaro-based drinks.
Production & Ingredients
Sarti Rosa is crafted using a neutral spirit base infused with natural fruit essences and extracts. The signature flavour profile is driven by sun-ripened Sicilian blood oranges, known for their aromatic oils and balanced acidity, harmonised with natural extracts of tropical mango and passion fruit. Bottled at a moderate 14% ABV, it is blended specifically to hold its fruit clarity and punchy colour when cut with sparkling wine and chilled soda water.
