Locally sourced
SOFI is all-Australian (owned & made) supporting local farmers with reduced transport costs and emissions:
~ 600 km = distance from Mildura (where SOFI is bottled) → Melbourne.
~ 16,000 km = distance from Italy (where Aperol is bottled) → Melbourne.

Wins on taste
SOFI was awarded Dan Murphy’s Best Aperitif/Digestif 2023 based on a blind tasting (panel of 14 experts).
Being the only Australian finalist in the category (most of the other finalists being from Italy) made the win extra special.
Tasting notes included being “some distance above the competition”.
Better value
SOFI provides more standard drinks for fewer dollars (approximately 40% on average) in both the full-strength Aperitivo and premixed Spritz formats.
