The collaboration with Acqua Plose continues for the nineteenth edition of Taste, once again confirming its role as technical sponsor of the event. For the occasion, the South Tyrolean brand Fonte Plose embraces the 2026 theme—True Food—and introduces a selection of significant new products.
Pure, light, and a source of well-being
As sommeliers and industry professionals have taught us, water, like excellent food, can be tasted and appreciated through its defining characteristics. As the main component of the human body, water is a true food in its purest form.
Acqua Plose gives voice to an unspoiled Italian landscape, flowing from a natural spring at 1,870 meters on Mount Plose. Bottled exclusively in glass and left entirely untreated. With a fixed residue of just 22 mg/l and extremely low hardness (1.3 F), Acqua Plose is among the lightest and purest high-altitude waters in the world. Its pH value of 6.6 supports absorption by the human body and, compared to the average bottled water, it boasts a very high oxygen content, around 10 mg/l. These are the key qualities that have long won over Taste visitors and continue to convince those who choose Acqua Plose for their everyday water consumption.
An exclusive service for the Taste community
In addition to supplying Acqua Plose to speakers, journalists, guests, and exhibitors during presentations and scheduled events, Plose confirms the presence of three dedicated Acqua Plose stations. An exclusive Pitti Taste service that, within a context devoted to gourmet food and wine tastings, reflects the same level of care in the choice of water: equally refined, light, and softly balanced, enhancing flavors without overpowering them.
A new bottle designed for hospitality
At the Fonte Plose stand, the new bottle dedicated to hospitality will be on display, redesigned starting from the glass, making it even more distinctive while offering a new, tactile, and visual experience. The label is decorated with gold and silver details, standing out from standard styles while adding a touch of originality and luminosity for a memorable table presence. Updated colors in midnight blue and marine green are designed to stand out to those who appreciate every detail, from the elegance and accuracy of service to the careful selection of ingredients and pairings.
What’s new in mixology?
Within the Alpex–Top Mixology Experience line, not to be missed is the new Alpex Paloma, an original and pioneering reference on the market, joining the trio of non-alcoholic ready-to-drink aperitifs Alpex Spritz, Alpex Hugo, and Alpex G&T. A quick yet distinctive alternative for a full-flavored non-alcoholic aperitivo.
Another new addition is Alpex Pink Grapefruit, a key element in the creation of fresh and trendy cocktails. The recipe has been carefully developed to achieve a flavor that surprises with freshness, offers versatility for bartenders, and offers a pleasurable drinking experience for those who appreciate the distinctive taste of pink grapefruit.
There's more…
100% natural and organic, sugar-free, preservative-free, colorant-free, and GMO-free, and always bottled in glass. At the Plose station, tastings will include BioPlose iced teas and juices, alongside BioPlose organic sparkling soft drinks. Unique flavors to be discovered one by one, helping professionals select those best suited for their venue, from cafés and pastry shops to hotels and spas.
