Spritz Del Conte Limoncello 750ML

Spritz Del Conte Limoncello 750ML is a wine-based, ready-to-drink limoncello spritz with less than 0.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Produced by Riboli Family Wines, this aromatized wine cocktail distinguishes itself from traditional spirits-based spritzes by building its flavor on Glera grapes — the same variety used in Prosecco — sourced from Northern Italy.

Quick Facts: ABV: <0.5%  |  Origin: Northern Italy (Glera grapes)  |  Style: Aromatized Wine-Based Cocktail  |  Producer: Riboli Family Wines

Production & Heritage

Riboli Family Wines, a multi-generational wine producer with deep roots in Italian winemaking traditions, developed the Spritz Del Conte line as a convenient alternative to building a classic spritz from scratch. The Limoncello expression combines white wine made from Glera grapes grown in Northern Italy with natural lemon flavoring, creating a complete cocktail in a single bottle. Unlike most ready-to-drink spritzes on the market — which typically rely on bitter liqueurs or distilled spirits as a base — this product uses aromatized wine as its foundation, resulting in a lighter, lower-alcohol profile at less than 0.5% ABV.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh citrus immediately fills the glass, followed by bright notes of sun-ripened lemon peel and a subtle herbal lift. The Glera grape base contributes a delicate, wine-forward backdrop beneath the citrus.

Taste: The entry is sweet and zesty, with bold lemon character taking the lead. At mid-palate, the white wine base rounds out the citrus with a gentle fruitiness, while herbal undertones add a touch of complexity. The overall impression is clean and refreshing, leaning bright rather than heavy.

Finish: Crisp and short, with tangy lemon zest lingering alongside a clean, slightly tart fade. There is no bitterness or heat — the finish is designed for easy, repeated sipping.

How to Drink Spritz Del Conte Limoncello

The simplest and intended serve is straight from the bottle over plenty of ice in a large wine glass, garnished with a lemon wheel or fresh sprig of mint. It arrives ready to drink with no additional ingredients required. For those who want to experiment, try it as a base in a Limoncello Collins by adding a splash of club soda and a squeeze of fresh lemon for extra effervescence. It also works in a Lemon Spritz Punch — combine with fresh berries and sparkling water for a crowd-friendly warm-weather bowl. A Frozen Limoncello Slush is another option: blend the spritz with ice for a simple, slushy summer cooler.
