S.Pellegrino is releasing a new range of fruit flavoured sparkling waters in Australia, made from 100 per cent natural ingredients and no artificial colours.

It is the first time fruit flavours have been specially crafted in S.Pellegrino’s signature sparkling water, and aims to add a fresh touch to casual dining occasions.

The S.Pellegrino Essenza range is presented in a sleek can and has three flavours – lemon and lemon zest, tangerine and wild strawberry, and dark morello cherry and pomegranate.

Each flavour is created to be paired with particular dishes, with the lemon variety working well with fish and salads, while tangerine and wild strawberry is suited for white meats and tomato pasta, and the cherry and pomegranate best for red meats and chocolate desserts.

The new S.Pellegrino Essenza range will be available in cafes and selected independent retailers in eight-packs for RRP $10.00.
