June 11, 2024 – Leading U.S. wine and spirits importer Palm Bay International is pleased to announce that Cipriani Drinks, a line of wines, spirits, and ready-to-drink cocktails from the renowned Cipriani restaurant and lifestyle brand, has joined its portfolio. This new partnership is effective immediately nationwide.
Since 1931, four generations have helped to shepherd the Cipriani name as a world-renowned brand and beacon of hospitality, starting with Giuseppe Cipriani who invented the Bellini — made with white peach puree and Prosecco — in 1948 at Harry’s Bar. Since then, the iconic cocktail has become recognized globally and helped champion the rise of the Cipriani name.
As the flagship of Cipriani Drinks, the Original Bellini is consistently the top-performing premium Bellini RTD in value and volume ($14+).* Alongside the Original Bellini (SRP: $19.99), Palm Bay will also bring to market Cipriani Prosecco DOC (SRP: $19.99), Cipriani Rosé Brut (SRP: $19.99), Cipriani Amaro 7 Parti (SRP: $36.99), and Cipriani London Dry Gin (SRP: $36.99).
“We are thrilled to welcome Cipriani Drinks to our family of producer partners,” says Palm Bay International President and CEO Marc D. Taub. “Our companies share a pioneering history of bringing the very best of Italian quality and culture to the forefront. With their dynamic brand presence and undeniable quality, Cipriani is poised for incredible, continued growth in the market.”
“We’ve been pleased with the increased consumer demand globally for the Cipriani Bellini and are very happy to be partnering with Palm Bay International to bring that same energy to the U.S. market,” says Tommaso Casara, CEO of Cipriani Drinks. “This is a timely opportunity to expand and grow our portfolio nationally.”
“At Cipriani Drinks, we are deeply dedicated to the exquisite art of hospitality, luxury, quality, and legacy,” adds Casara. “The Original Bellini and alcoholic drinks collection showcases this ethos and craft.”
