Making Every Moment Sparkle, Mezza Di Mezzacorona Launches with Millennials in Mind
NEW YORK (February 6, 2017) – Leading Italian wine producer Mezzacorona will spark a new kind of cool with the launch of Mezza di Mezzacorona, a crisp, Italian Glacial Bubbly perfect to pop anywhere, anytime, and arriving in markets this spring. With the recent trend of millennials shifting consumption of sparkling wine to more casual occasions, Mezza di Mezzacorona is designed to appeal to the Instagram-generation with its dynamic packaging and wallet-friendly suggested price point (just $14.99).
“Millennial wine drinkers aren’t constrained by the same rules as those before them, choosing to drink sparkling wine on any occasion, not just to celebrate a milestone,” says winemaker Lucio Matricardi. “They also value authenticity, so we created a beautifully crisp sparkling wine with a true sense of place – Trentino in Northeastern Italy, known for its majestic mountain peaks and glacial valleys. Mezza di Mezzacorona can be enjoyed without a ‘special’ reason, while also giving people a true, Italian wine experience in every sip.”
Made from estate-grown grapes from the foothills of the Italian Alps, this versatile bubbly boasts a palate-friendly flavor profile that goes with any time of day – brunch or pre-party, picnics or as a nightcap, on its own or in a cocktail.
