ZONZO ESTATE CICCHIO PISTACHIO SPRITZ

Producer notes
"Say Ciao to Cicchio – a lively companion for any occasion. This world-first, bottled pistacchio spritz is perfect for any occasion, shared in good company. Cicchio draws its inspiration from Catania and the Sicillian Coast – the home of Pistacia Vera (the true Pistacchio).

Upon tasting you will detect subtle notes of Pistacchio, honey and melon. It has a gentle creamy texture that will leave you reaching for another sip. Made with a delicious blend of Zonzo Estate Sparkling Wine and a secret Pistacchio liquer, it is best served chilled over ice. Garnish with a sprig of fresh Thyme or orange zest if you wish. Ciccio is bold, natural, vibrant and delicious."

"From where I sit, it ain’t bad at all. There’s a distinct marzipan and nougat thing going on here, a touch of Chinese medicinal herbal elixir, some lychee and almond biscotti and a riff of lemon-lime sorbet. In all this, an exotic, interesting, somewhat sweet and simple drink, but with requisite refreshment factor and decent energy. It needs ice and a wedge of citrus to make it hit the high notes, and in that, we have a good deal."
