Terlato Wines Adds Riondo Prosecco to Luxury Wine Portfolio

11 Jan 2016 --- Terlato Wines announced a new long-term agreement, effective immediately to take over as exclusive marketing agent for Riondo Spago Nero Prosecco, one of the most popular and authentic DOC Proseccos from the Veneto region.

"We are extremely pleased about our partnership with Riondo," said William A. Terlato, CEO of Terlato Wines. "They share our family's standards for quality and authenticity. Riondo already holds a strong position in the U.S. with a 6 percent market share. With overall Prosecco sales at 3.5 million cases in 2014 and growing, we have confidence that there is major untapped growth potential for Riondo Prosecco in the U.S."

Terlato will feature Riondo's signature Spago Nero Prosecco DOC, known for its frizzante style, which offers a soft, creamy effervescence and fresh notes of apple and pear. Terlato will import 750 ml bottles with Riondo's signature string closure as well as single-serve 187 ml bottles.

"Terlato is a perfect match for us," said Giancarlo Lechthaler, general manager for Collis-Riondo. "They are known for their impressive portfolio of wines from the most important producers and appellations in the world, and we are proud to be a part of it. We are looking forward to growing Riondo Prosecco in the U.S. with Terlato."
