Bagolino (Brescia), 5 May 2026.

A new product from Maniva – the Brescia-based mineral water producer – aimed at the glass-bottled soft drinks segment, designed to revive the flavours and taste heritage of the Spume di Toscana. From May 2026, the brand-new Verna Sparkling Drinks will officially enter production and distribution for the Ho.Re.Ca. market, targeting customers who are always mindful of the combination of quality and tradition. These drinks are made using water that flows from uncontaminated springs within the protected oasis of the Casentinesi Forests Natural Park.

Previewed at the start of the year at the Rimini Exhibition, Verna Soft Drinks are a perfect blend of the artisanal taste of the ancient Tuscan sparkling drink tradition and the high quality of the all-Italian ingredients used to make them: from Calabrian citrons to Ligurian chinotto, to Italian oranges and lemons.

Blended without artificial sweeteners using the new syrup laboratory at the Chiusi della Verna plant (Arezzo), recently converted to the production of Maniva products in glass only, the entire range of Bibite Verna is packaged in 37.5 cl bottles in 12-bottle cartons, but also offers a real innovation for the hospitality market: the option to use the returnable glass (V.A.R.) system in 20-bottle cases, thus anticipating the requirements

The Verna Soft Drinks range is accompanied by another new product from Maniva for the out-of-home sector: the Soft Drink Premix kegs. These are 20-litre mixing kegs made from the latest generation of steel, returnable, non-slip, stackable and customisable: a guarantee of protection for the purity and organoleptic qualities characteristic of the Maniva Group’s waters. The kegs are available in the flavours of lager, citron, lemonade and tonic.

A new project that once again highlights Maniva’s capacity for product innovation and its production philosophy; since 1998, in the Lombardy Rhaetian Alps, Maniva has been meeting consumers’ wellness needs through its Maniva pH8 Mineral Water.
