Nescafé Dolce Gusto is launching two new additions to its Italian Inspiration range, Espresso Roma and Espresso Milano. The Espresso Roma is described as rich and intense, aiming to bring the “vibrancy of the Italian capital”. It is comprised of a blend of coffees from five different origins for a rounded taste, described as having a velvety body with toasted notes of blackcurrant. Espresso Milano coffee is inspired by Italy’s fashion capital, designed to “add a touch of sophistication” to the range. It has notes of red fruit and dark chocolate combined with a light spicy note for a “delicate” toasting. Nescafé Dolce Gusto brand manager, Maryna Kinchyna, said: “Espresso has several characteristics and degrees of intensity as you travel throughout Italy. From the north downwards, coffee drinkers in the country would find distinct levels of toasting and creaminess.” “The Italian Inspiration Range perfectly interprets these different and authentic souls of espresso coffee as they would be found in Italy.” The new blends are now available through Nescafé’s web shop and will roll out in Sainsbury’s stores across the UK from September.
