Excellent for soda aficionados which worry about calories
I noticed there's no review on this so I'll offer one. I think this is a cleverly researched and successful "compromise" product. More than simple flavored water of the LaCroix type. Much less sugary (AND, importantly, without artificial sweeteners either) than regular sodas, San Pellegrino or others. Could San Pellegrino make miracles and create a full flavor, sweet soda? With little sugar and no sweeteners? Of course not. It is likely that, compared to the classic Aranciata, Pompelmo etc. you will find this product weak tasting, not sugary enough. In my own case, it grew on me. I was not enthusiastic but, after drinking it a number of times, I came to appreciate it better and the taste buds adapted to the mild sweetness of the product. Now I like it for what it is, to the extent that regular soda may seem two sweet to me. I believe this will serve me even better during summer, when the low sugar content will make it more refreshing, without the "calories guilt". The flavor is, of course, mild, but also pleasant. I tried so far two out of the three flavors offered and I preferred this one (clementine and peach) though the other one I tried (raspberry and lemon) isn't bad at all either. Bottom line, do not expect miracles, try to adapt a little, and you may find a good way to satisfy your soda thirst without all that extra sugar. The product, delicate as it may be, does exhibit the quality we associate with the name San Pellegrino.
