Le Moné

 

Le Moné is an invigorating, lighter, and livelier apéritif crafted in New York. This dry white wine blend marries the distinct flavors of NY-grown Traminette and Cayuga grapes, expertly fortified with grape spirit to introduce a gentle warmth.

Its vibrant and approachable profile stands out, free from the cloying sweetness or bitterness typical of other apéritifs. The drink features a proprietary citrus bouquet that includes Meyer lemon peel, enhanced by a subtle touch of bergamot and three types of lime, finished with a splash of lemon juice for a refreshing pop of acidity. To complement its bright flavors, it is sweetened with organic agave, maintaining balance while containing only one-fifth the sugar and carbs, and less than half the calories of the leading apéritif.
