SANPELLEGRINO CREATE NEW VISUAL IDENTITY FOR TASTEFULLY LIGHT & CLASSIC TASTE SPARKLING FRUIT RANGES

Same delicious taste – new premium, sleek can design and upgraded visuals

A permissible treat – thanks to its selection of Italian ingredients and real fruit juice – the Sanpellegrino Tastefully Light & Classic Taste sparkling fruit ranges, have long been a favourite with consumers looking for a truly thirst quenching and delicious citrus drink.

The entire range has now switched to a new premium 33cL sleek can design and multipacks, which feature updated visuals reinforcing Sanpellegrino’s distinctive values of natural ingredients and Italian origin. The new visual identity also sees the drinks manufacturer reducing plastic packaging by replacing the can’s plastic shrink wrap with cardboard cartons.

The Sanpellegrino Tastefully Light sparkling fruit range includes Limonata (lemon), Aranciata (orange), Aranciata Rossa (blood orange), Melograno & Arancia (pomegranate & orange), Limone & Menta (lemon & mint)and Pompelmo (grapefruit). Each can includes at least 16% real fruit juice sourced from Italy and the Mediterranean and stevia from natural sources. The Tastefully Light range of beverages are non HFSS* and compliant with the incoming HFSS promotional regulations. The whole range is also not liable for the Soft Drinks Industry Levy.

Michela Tasso, Sanpellegrino UK Brand Manager says: “We are delighted to unveil a completely new and refreshing visual identity for both our Classic Taste & Tastefully Light sparkling fruit ranges, aiming to delight consumers by offering a more premium drinking experience, without compromising on Sanpellegrino’s iconic taste and naturalness. In addition to the new, sleek can and updated visuals, we are reducing the amount of plastic packaging we use by switching from classic plastic wrapped cans to carton.”

Catherine Goswell, OOH Category Manager says: “The number of outlets stocking the Sanpellegrino range continues to increase¹ as retailers recognise the importance of having a more premium soft drinks offer. Wholesalers should replicate this within their portfolio, ensuring the range is readily available to secure returning trade from retailers.Sanpellegrino has seen particularly strong growth within the Convenience channel, where sales are up 11.6%² and growing faster than the total Carbonates category. Within Convenience, alongside the growth of the 2 top sellers Sanpellegrino Limonata and Aranciata 33cl, the brand has also seen exceptional growth within Aranciata Rossa 33cl (Blood Orange), up 39.4%³ in value as retailers look to offer differentiated flavours to cater for their customers’ needs. To maximise sales, wholesalers should stock an extended range of Sanpellegrino flavours to drive volume and provide choice.”
