Sarti Aperitivo Rosa

14% ABV (28 proof) | 750mL | Italian aperitivo | Bologna, Italy — Sarti Rosa is the easy-to-mix aperitivo from Italy: a vibrant pink pour built on passion fruit, Sicilian blood orange, and mango, delivering a balanced citrusy-tropical taste for drinkers who want sweet-and-sour refreshment over classic bitter.

Casa Luigi Sarti & Figli was founded in 1885 in Bologna, in the heart of Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, and Sarti Rosa is the brand's modern, fruit-forward reinterpretation of the Italian aperitivo — leading with tropical fruit rather than the herbal bitterness of Aperol or Campari. Launched in Europe in the early 2020s, it became a viral TikTok spritz sensation before officially debuting in the US in September 2026, backed by what Campari Group calls its largest-ever investment behind an aperitivo launch. The signature serve is the Sarti Spritz: 3 parts Prosecco DOC and 2 parts Sarti Rosa over ice in a large wine glass, garnished with fresh lime — the "Too Pink to Care" pour. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.
