Nestlé unveils coffee-flavoured S.Pellegrino Essenza line

Nestlé is adding a coffee-inspired line to its S.Pellegrino Essenza portfolio of flavoured sparkling mineral waters.

The new S.Pellegrino Essenza products are gently caffeinated, with three flavour combinations set to launch in the US this spring: vanilla & coffee, cocoa & coffee and caramel & coffee.

Bottled at the source in Italy, the new zero-calorie line is free from sweeteners and contains 30mg of caffeine, which is said to be around one third of the amount in an average cup of coffee.

“Building on the popularity of our S.Pellegrino Essenza, featuring fresh Mediterranean fruit flavours, we turned to Italian coffee bars as inspiration for this new line,” said Sara Mayer, senior marketing manager for S.Pellegrino.

“With sophisticated and indulgent hints of vanilla, cocoa and caramel, and a gentle dose of caffeine, this new offering is the perfect accompaniment to perk up your daily breaks and snack times.”

With an SRP of $5.99 for an eight-can fridge pack, the new S.Pellegrino Essenza line will roll out to US retailers nationwide this spring.
