Introducing The Independent Prosecco From Italy
19 Aug 2015 --- The latest trend hitting the runway at New York Fashion Week is sparkling, crisp and comes in a glass. Two of Italy's creative powerhouses, Italia Independent and famed Italian wine maker, Marco Fantinel, launch their newest project, The Independent Prosecco, in the U.S. this fall.
The Italian fashion group is known for their sophisticated eyewear, among other lifestyle items designed in partnerships with Adidas, Fiat and high-end watch designers, Hublot. Fantinel Winery is renowned for their prestigious vineyards and Friulian winemaking art.
"The Independent Prosecco combines Italia Independent's intrinsic values, such as tradition, innovation, Italian style and vocation to global marketing, with Fantinel's high oenological knowledge," noted Lapo Elkann, Italia Independent co-founder and president.
Independent Prosecco is created using the finest Glera grapes from the Fantinel Vineyards in the Tauriano di Spilimbergo region of Italy. The peculiar location and perfect microclimate, improved by the closeness to Friulian Dolomites, give the grapes outstanding qualities. The sparkling wine is then fermented for 100 days with a long maturation in the bottle. Once the prosecco is ready, it is then dressed by Italia Independent. The houndstooth pattern label emulates some of the same style attributes that made Italia Independent's latest collection so successful.
The Independent Prosecco is being launched in partnership with Total Beverage Solution and includes the exclusive import rights for Beni di Batasiolo Wines and Ron Abuelo.
