Warsaw, 9 April 2026: Stock Spirits Group today announced the launch of Limoncè Spritz, a ready-to-drink, wine-based spritz crafted with the vibrant flavour of 100% Sicilian Femminello lemons. The new product marks a significant extension of the Limoncè portfolio and brings the beloved Italian aperitivo ritual to a convenient, modern format.
The launch builds on the success of Limoncè Aperitivo, which debuted in 2025 as a lighter, citrus-led alternative to bitter aperitifs and rapidly earned recognition, winning medals at several international spirits competitions, and most recently being named Product of the Year in Italy for the aperitifs category. It also reflects three trends reshaping the industry and the way consumers are drinking today: the rise of spritz and aperitivo culture beyond Italy, growing demand for lower-alcohol options, and the rapid growth of the RTD format.
Central to the product’s appeal is the use of 100% Femminello lemons—Sicily’s most historic citrus variety known for its aromatic intensity and high juice content. Produced through a near-artisanal process that preserves the natural flavour and aroma of the fruit, and free from artificial additives, it is this commitment to ingredient quality and craftsmanship that gives Limoncè Spritz RTD its distinctive character.
Limoncè Spritz RTD, at 8% ABV, is presented in a 20cl glass bottle and available in a 3-pack format. It can be served over ice with a lemon slice or enjoyed straight from the bottle, whether at a festival, an outdoor gathering, or a relaxed moment at home.
Anne Martin, CMO at Stock Spirits Group, said: “The aperitif occasion is one of the biggest growth opportunities in the industry right now, and the RTD format only accelerates it. At Stock Spirits, we are investing significantly behind Limoncè because we believe this is a brand and category with real headroom, and we intend to be a leading player in this space.”
Valentina Simonetta, Marketing Director Italy at Stock Spirits Group, added: “Aperitivo is a state of mind; a moment to pause, connect and genuinely enjoy. It’s about the people you’re with as much as what’s in your glass. With Limoncè Spritz, we wanted to capture that feeling: the vibrant colour, the warmth of the Sicilian sun and the freshness of the lemons.”
Limoncè will return for its second consecutive year as an official sponsor of the Infiorata di Noto festival in Sicily, bringing the brand’s Sicilian heritage to life for tens of thousands of local and international visitors through immersive brand experiences.
The launch of Limoncè Spritz RTDs will also be supported by a multi-channel media campaign with the product rolling out across selected European markets throughout 2026.
