Details
Full of zesty green apples and fresh-cut pears, this light, crisp, and very drinkable drink feels incredibly summery. It's the sort of deliciously easy drink that makes an afternoon more lively, with the very simple ingredient list leading to an uncomplicated freshness and with a distinctly Italian feel.
Gloria is the Italian summery drink we've all been looking for. It's a unique combination of Italian Pinot Grigio, pear juice and sparkling water. That's it. Gloria is low in alcohol (5.5%), gluten-free, low in calories and incredibly drinkable, with this sunshine vibe and ultimate freshness that feels like an Italian holiday. Gloria is the brainchild of Piero Fonseca, the ex-somm behind Australian wine importer Standard Wine Co, working with a group of friends both in Australia and Italy. Having enjoyed the odd wine-based aperitivo, this cadre knew that the freshness of Grigio could make for the backbone, with just a little juiciness for balance. Go on, try not to fall in love with Gloria!

Pairing guide
Beautifully refreshing and revitalising, this seltzer made with Pinot Grigio is a great addition to picnics and barbecues, and all kinds of light lunches and gatherings of friends and food. We loved it with a mozzarella bruschetta, but it will be just as good with cucumber sandwiches, pasta salads, homemade tarts and quiches, as well as with desserts featuring apples, pears and other orchard fruits. Seafood, especially grilled prawns, will also pair very nicely indeed.
