The negroni is the drink the whole brand is named after, so this is the one to judge it on. Bittersweet, with juniper and bright citrus, and lightly sparkling, which a real negroni is not, but which keeps it lively without the alcohol.
Lapo's own word for it is molto bitter, and that is the right instinct. The failure mode of a zero-proof negroni is sweetness, and this does not fall into it.
Zero proof, and zero literally, since nothing is fermented. Gluten free. 8 oz.
Serve it the way you would the real thing and it holds up. Serve it like a soft drink and it will not.
Over plenty of ice, in a rocks glass
With an orange slice or a twist, which the bitterness wants
As the aperitivo when part of the table is not drinking
Alongside olives, crisps, anything salty and cured
Before dinner rather than during, like its alcoholic namesake

The Brand
Lapo's
Lapo is a real person: a barman in a tuxedo who made the best bitter cocktails in the room, and who the founders liked enough to name the drinks after. Their own materials place him in two different Italian cities, so take the legend loosely and the drink seriously.
The range is Italian aperitivo translated to zero proof, and zero is literal here: nothing is fermented, so there is no alcohol to strip back out. Citrus Spritz is built on real citrus and herbs. Melograno Mule is a pomegranate and ginger mule made with real pomegranate juice and botanical extracts.
Useful when someone at the table is not drinking and you would rather not hand them a soda.
Pantry FAQs
Will this ship with my wine?
No, pantry items travel separately.
Pantry items are fulfilled by our partner retailer in California, so they ship on their own and will not arrive in the same box as your wine. Order both and you should expect two parcels, often on different days.
You will receive tracking for the pantry parcel within 3-4 business days.
Do I need to sign for the delivery?
No. Unlike wine, food does not need a signature.
Wine requires an adult signature on delivery. Pantry items do not, so they can be left at your door like any ordinary parcel.
Can I order pantry items on their own, without wine?
Yes, a pantry order stands on its own.
Yes. Nothing here is tied to a wine purchase. Shipping for pantry items is calculated separately at checkout.
How should I store it?
Check the label first.
Most of what we carry is shelf stable until it is opened, and would rather sit in a cool dark cupboard than on a sunny counter. Anything that needs refrigerating once opened says so on the label.
Something arrived damaged or wrong. What now?
Get in touch and we will sort it out.
Email us with your order number and a photo of the problem and we will make it right.
Why does a natural wine shop sell pantry items?
Because the bottle is rarely the whole evening.
These are things we actually cook with, picked by the same people who pick the wine. A good bottle tends to want something on the table next to it, and this is the shortlist we would hand a friend who asked.
