P31
P31 is an Italian "green" aperitivo based on a secret recipe of 31 natural ingredients (including over 20 medicinal herbs). Born to reinvent the traditional Spritz, the range includes the Aperitivo Green (low alcohol), the Green Bitter aimed at mixology, and ready-to-drink premixed formulas.

The story
P31 was created and tested at Caffè Pedrocchi in Padua: the recipe was refined after a period of experimentation with the café's regular clientele and with traditional drinkers (including gondoliers). The commercial launch took place in 2017.
Production philosophy
To renew the aperitivo ritual through the predominant use of natural ingredients, reduce sugar and alcohol level compared with some traditional aperitifs, and offer versatile solutions for both neat consumption and mixing.
Territory
Origin and development in the Veneto region (Padua). Active distribution in several European countries.
Production method
Infusion and maceration of botanicals: herbs and roots are left to infuse in alcohol and water in a bain-marie at controlled temperature; the official page indicates a maceration of about five weeks followed by addition of syrup and filtration.
