Piedmont, Italy
Refolesco Primo | Non-alcoholic botanical ferment
Where the resinous, balsamic structure of Alpine botanicals (pine, gentian, juniper, genepy) meets the lively freshness of kombucha and the citrus note of pepper and lemon verbena — a refreshing, layered drink.
The soul of Piedmont and the Alps
We're deeply tied to our territory, and to the sustainability of how we source it.
-
100% Piedmontese apples
A blend of carefully selected organic Piedmontese apples, nothing else.
-
Pure mountain water
The base the ferment is built on.
-
Alpine botanicals
A careful terroir selection that includes genepy, pine buds, gentian root, juniper and pepe limonoso.
The process
The aromatic, resinous and bitter components are infused separately, so each flavour and scent can be balanced and controlled on its own terms. Natural yeasts transform the natural sweetness of the apple juice; the second fermentation happens in the bottle, with no added sugars, followed by pasteurisation for stability and finesse. A cold crash and fine filtration give «Primo» its elegant golden colour, while leaving a light, natural haze in suspension — the mark of artisanal authenticity.
Getting the Most Out of «Primo»
A small gesture makes all the difference in tasting its full layering.
01
Temperature
Serve cold, between 6 and 8 °C — cold enough to lift its freshness without dulling the aromatics.
02
The Glass
In a wide wine glass, so the aromas and fine bubbles can fully express themselves.
03
The Moment
At the table, for any fine-dining moment — «Primo» is built to accompany the dish, never as a stand-in for alcohol.
The perfect pairing
The resinous, balsamic structure of the Alpine botanicals and the citrus note of pepe limonoso make Primo a natural companion at the table.
