About La Benedicta
La Benedicta is a refreshing alcoholic drink of 5 per cent, sold by BRANA in apple and pineapple flavours and marketed on a light, accessible taste rather than on strength or bitterness. Its slogan is La vie en Bleu. BRANA gives no launch date for it anywhere on its site, and it is not among the products dated on the company's own history page, so no founding year is recorded here.
