Quality without compromise

100% natural comes at a price.

Every drop of Sparkling Rocco tells a story: from the sun-kissed apple orchards in Italy to the gentle harvest and freshly pressed juice.

We believe that quality comes from where people, nature, and craftsmanship meet. And this care comes at a price.

To help you understand why we are adjusting our prices, we invite you to take a look behind the scenes—from cultivation to the glass.

The Value of Quality

Freshly squeezed juice & honest ingredients

Quality without compromise

We do not use concentrates, artificial flavors, additives, or cheaper alternatives. Sparkling Rocco stands for 100% honest ingredients, transparency, and uncompromising quality.

  • 100% direct juice, never from concentrate
  • Careful selection of raw materials for natural flavor

These decisions increase our production costs, but are central to our product promise.

Fair & sustainable apple production

Responsibility for Soil, Plants, and People

The apples for Sparkling Rocco are increasingly sourced from our own agriculture.

  • Fair salary for employees
  • Sustainable agriculture instead of short-term savings
  • Higher ongoing investment costs secure quality, innovation, and reliability in the long term.

Premium raw materials & careful production

No Compromises on Taste and Naturalness

We could use cheaper alternatives, but that is not what Sparkling Rocco stands for. Every decision is aimed at maintaining the highest quality.

  • Own raw materials and meticulous selection
  • Deliberately higher production costs for pure, authentic taste
  • Investing in quality and research instead of short-term savings

Our promise remains: honest products, uncompromisingly good.

Red-fleshed apples – the heart of our Sparkling Rocco

The quality of our red-fleshed apples begins long before they reach the glass – it begins in the orchard.

Whether on our own land or at carefully selected partner farms: we are personally on-site, overseeing every step with attention and passion, ensuring that our high standards are consistently lived out.

Through regular quality checks and close, trust-based cooperation with our producers, we preserve what matters to us: uncompromising care from tree to glass – and the quality that Sparkling Rocco stands for.

The Weinsepphof

Own Production

Our farm is in Lana, South Tyrol, now managed by Josef in its third generation.
On 8 hectares of cultivated land, we have been growing our red-fleshed apples alongside traditional varieties since 2013.

With experience and personal commitment, we accompany their journey from the first budding to the harvest, placing the highest value on quality and meticulous production. Many steps are carried out by hand – because every single apple deserves our full attention.

The Future

Investments

To secure the growing demand in the coming years, we invest annually in new apple orchards, the renewal of existing ones, and additional acreage. These measures ensure that our high quality standards can be maintained well into the future.

Ensuring Quality & Volume

Partnerships

Our partnerships with regional apple producers ensure that we always receive the best fruit – paid fairly, according to clear quality standards, and with planning security for both sides. In this way, Sparkling Rocco continues to be based on the finest apples, whether from our own harvest or from partners who share our values.

From Tree to Glass – how Sparkling Rocco is crafted

Our Sparkling Rocco is crafted with the utmost care to preserve the varietal flavor and vibrant color of our red-fleshed apples. Every step of our process is focused on quality and sustainability.

  • 1. Harvest and Selection

    The red-fleshed apples are harvested by hand in late September at their peak ripeness. Their intense color and unique flavor form the foundation for the freshness and character of our Sparkling Rocco.

  • 2. Pressing and Juice Extraction

    After careful washing, the apples are gently pressed. During this process, we ensure that the natural color and aromas are fully preserved.

  • 3. Storage

    The freshly extracted juice is stored in chilled, sterile tanks until it is further processed.

  • 4. Filtration and Carbonation

    Before bottling, the juice is gently filtered to preserve its vibrant red color. It is then carbonated over several days using a pressure tank process – always under controlled cooling.

  • 5. Bottling and Pasteurization

    In the next step, the juice is filled into our bottles and capped.

    To ensure the shelf life of Sparkling Rocco without the use of preservatives, we carefully pasteurize the juice at 82°C. This guarantees a shelf life of up to two to three years.

  • 6. Labeling and Packaging

    After pasteurization, the bottles are cooled with cold water, dried, and labeled. They are then packed into cartons, palletized, and ready for delivery to our customers.
