A Sip of La Dolce Vita in a Can
SOLBEVI, a trailblazing alcohol startup just eight months old, is redefining the Australian beverage landscape with a sip of La Dolce Vita. Founded by Stefan Di Benedetto, a second-generation Italian from Veneto, SOLBEVI aims to capture the spirit of Italian summers with their refreshing Limoncello Spritz in a can.
The Birth of SOLBEVI
Growing up, Stefan cherished family recipes from Italy, especially the homemade Limoncello. Some of his fondest memories involve laughter and love, sipping Limoncello under grapevines or by the beach. What began as a family passion quickly evolved into something greater. While sitting on Nonna’s balcony, he realised this delicious blend should be enjoyed by everyone. So, Stefan transformed his love for Limoncello into a business, creating Australia’s first-ever Limoncello Spritz in a can.
Within six weeks of launching, the spritz had landed in 118 Dan Murphy’s stores nationally and secured a spot in all Vintage Cellars stores. The drink quickly became a sensation, and now business is booming. Despite the rapid growth, Stefan, a hardworking visionary, runs most of the operations himself, ensuring that each can carries the zest of Italy.
The Taste of Italy in Every Sip
SOLBEVI is on a mission to bring back the refreshing zing of Limoncello. Their Limoncello Spritz is a harmonious blend of classic Italian liqueur and modern mixology. Bursting with bright lemon flavours, a hint of sweetness, and a fizzy finish, it’s a drink that promises to delight your taste buds.
In addition to the Limoncello Spritz, SOLBEVI also produces a traditional Limoncello liqueur, crafted using their cherished family recipe. You can find it in some of Australia’s most iconic venues, such as the Opera Bar in Sydney, 400 Gradi, Brunetti, and The Continental Hotel.
Sharing the Spirit of Italy
Stefan Di Benedetto’s vision extends beyond just creating beverages. He wants to recreate the cherished Italian experience of sipping Limoncello surrounded by family and friends. SOLBEVI’s goal is to foster that same sense of community and joy with their refreshing drinks.
Their merchandise line, including SOLBEVI T-Shirts, Tote Bags, and Vintage Posters, complements the brand’s aesthetic, helping fans showcase their love for Italian zest.
