Red Moon 99.6 Sparkling is an aperitif that thinks differently – and tastes differently. Behind this extraordinary drink lies an equally extraordinary ingredient: red-fleshed apples of the RS-1 and RM-1 varieties, which are grown on Italian plantations and gently cold-pressed.

The result: a deep red, sparkling refreshment – 100% natural and non-alcoholic. The vibrant color is created entirely without additives, simply by the red flesh of the apples.
In terms of taste, you can expect a fresh balance of sweetness and a slightly tart note – a treat pure on ice, a discovery as a base for cocktails.

About FRUUP

Red apples from South Tyrol as the idea behind Red Moon

FRUUP GmbH is behind the Red Moon brand. The manufacturer's headquarters is stated as Cornaiano (Girlan) in South Tyrol. The focus is not on a grape variety, but on an apple: the flesh of the Red Moon varieties is naturally red. The brand was introduced as the first Italian red-fleshed apple. The orchards are located in South Tyrol and the Veneto, where full bloom occurs in April.

From this fruit, a drink was created that consciously sets itself apart from classic apple juice: Red Moon 99.6 Sparkling, a non-alcoholic aperitif with the color of a rosé or red wine.

Cold-pressed, pasteurized, carbonated only

The apples are harvested in September and October on the Italian plantations. Both varieties are considered robust and resistant, which facilitates cultivation. The fruits are pressed gently and cold. This preserves the natural color of the flesh.

Afterward, the juice is pasteurized and carbonated. Nothing else happens: there is no added sugar, no artificial colors, and no preservatives. The deep red color comes solely from the apple. It is bottled in 0.75-liter bottles in champagne format, with cork and capsule.

Red Moon 99.6 Sparkling: an alcohol-free aperitif

The name states the composition: 99.6% apple and 0.4% carbon dioxide. As a cuvée, the Sparkling combines the two red-fleshed varieties RS-1 and RM-1. In the glass, it shows a bright carmine red with lively perlage. The nose is reminiscent of fresh apple, sweet pear flesh, and cherry skin. On the palate, it is juicy, with a balanced harmony of sweetness and a slightly acidic note on the finish. Falstaff awarded it 90 points at the 2026 Ready To Drink Trophy and described a savory note in the style of a peperonata.

It is best served well chilled at about 8 °C, neat or on ice. It pairs as an aperitif with mild goat cheese, summery salads, and antipasti. It is also suitable as a base for non-alcoholic and alcoholic cocktails.

FRUUP –
Red Moon Sparkling made from red-fleshed apples

With Red Moon 99.6 Sparkling, FRUUP is launching an aperitif that owes its character to an unusual ingredient: red-fleshed apples of the RS-1 and RM-1 varieties, grown on Italian plantations and gently cold-pressed. The result is a deep red, sparkling drink – the color is created exclusively by the apple flesh, without any dyes or additives.

In terms of taste, Red Moon moves between fresh fruit and a slightly tart note that is reminiscent of ripe apples with lively acidity. Non-alcoholic and 100% natural – just as convincing pure on ice as it is as a base for non-alcoholic cocktails and aperitif variations.
