What is Baladin Tonica al Fieno?
Tonica al Fieno is an artisanal soft drink produced by Baladin, inspired by the original Indian Tonic Waters. The distinctive ingredient is the May hay from the Cuneo Alps — the first cut of hay of the season, harvested in spring in the mountains of Cuneo, with a unique floral and alpine aromatic profile.
Zero artificial colorings, zero preservatives. Only real ingredients with a traceable supply chain.
