Savoia Aperitivo presents the ‘Vegan Road’

Italian brand Savoia has partnered with top London bars on special Veganuary cocktails.

Savoia – the only vegan-certified vino aperitivo – is celebrating the world of vegan food and drink with the launch of ‘Vegan Road’. Throughout January and February 2024, Savoia is partnering with some of the finest bars in London to offer guests a variety of aperitivo-based cocktails that are perfect for those observing Veganuary or looking to enjoy a mindful start to the year.

Aligning with the growing trend towards a plant-based lifestyle, Savoia has partnered with five of the capital’s renowned bars. Each venue will serve a cocktail menu of three drinks, including two of the aperitivo’s signature serves as well as a completely unique cocktail created by the bar.

The ‘Vegan Road’ by Savoia limited edition libations will be available at each venue from now until 11 February 2024:

• Bar Antoine at Four Seasons Hotel London, with cocktails crafted by head mixologist Michele Lombardi
• Tavolino, with cocktails crafted by general manager Michele Gianrusso
• Aqua Nueva and Aqua Kyoto, with cocktails crafted by general manager Camilo Jimenez
• Tozi Restaurant, with cocktails crafted by the bar manager Marco Bullegas.

Savoia’s offerings, Rosso and Orancio, have been expertly crafted using only natural ingredients, which give the silky liquids their rich red colouring and light orange hue. This thoughtful consideration ensures the aperitivos cater to a wider audience and helped to secure the brand’s certified vegan status.

Both are ideal for mindful drinkers thanks to their low ABV. Savoia Rosso is made from a complex blend of over 24 botanicals, including artemisia, bitter orange, and pink grapefruit, along with spices like ginger and cardamom. Savoia Orancio is a distinctive aperitivo made from orange wine, infused with an array of citrus and fruit flavours and complemented by the exotic richness of saffron and pomegranate. Both are ready to serve and perfect for creating a range of classic and innovative cocktails.

“Savoia Vino Aperitivo is the first of its kind to receive vegan certification, an accolade which comes with a high responsibility to educate the community on our terroir and the natural ingredients we use,” says Giuseppe Gallo, creator of Savoia.

“Since the brand’s inception, we have made it our mission to expand the offering of vegan cocktails available, especially in such a cosmopolitan city as London, and promote this strong ethical approach with our partnering bars and exceptional mixologists. With the launch of ‘Vegan Road’ we aim to create a unique cocktail experience that showcases the appeal of vegan and low-ABV drinks through the exquisite taste of our Italian heritage.”
