Féfé is a brand that innovates in the mixology cocktail sector. Their knowledge of bartending allows them to offer several ranges of premium ready-to-drink cocktails to bars/restaurants and onboard buyers. 

Féfé’s Le Syndicat aims at defending French Maisons and Châteaux, by providing them with the tools to promote their great traditions. So, for years, they’ve crafted a savoir-faire (the mixology), developed a terroir, and built an iconic bar Le Syndicat, all with the idea of creating something able to rejuvenate the image of French spirits. All of this has finally begun two years ago to appear as a single coherent structure this year with the rise of féfé, their range of beverages.  See féfé’s exhibitor profile bottega spa gin bacur copper coloured bottle and box

2) Gin Bacur (100cl) by Bottega Spa 

Bottega Spa’s Gin Bacur is a strong and aromatic distillate.

Bottega Spa’s spirits can be enjoyed pure, as well as in cocktails and long drinks.

umbrian red wine monte vibiano bottle

4) Umbria Red Wine by Monte Vibiano 

Among Monte Vibiano’s offerings is their Umbrian red, which reveals a ripe, intense red colour. With a decisive and elegant personality at the nose that is a prelude to an explosion on the palate of red berry fruits, it features an initial, almost crunchy black cherry, but leaves room for a magnificent red currant.   

A beautiful round and persistent body support a beautiful spiciness with notes of pure vanilla and pleasant sensations of Indian black pepper in grains.
