July 2024 | Crurated, the online platform unlocking insider access to rare and exceptional wines and spirits, and Langosteria, the esteemed fine dining Italian group, are pleased to announce an exclusive partnership.
Langosteria will now also offer Crurated’s prestigious brands across their 7 sites in Milan, Paris, Paraggi and St. Moritz, with two new launches planned in London and Miami. This collaboration will redefine the landscape of fine dining experiences, offering guests access to Crurated’s curated selection of the world’s most sought-after liquids.
Langosteria will benefit from real-time inventory centralization at Crurated´s state-of-the-art temperature-controlled warehouse in Burgundy, with shipments based on the specific needs of each restaurant’s requirements via Crurated´s logistics hub. Guests will have access to rare and unique bottles, on a dedicated Crurated Collection wine list, which they can browse and request at the time of booking.
Alfonso de Gaetano, Founder and CEO of Crurated, comments: “Our partnership with Langosteria, one of Europe’s finest hospitality groups, marks a new chapter for Crurated. Our mission is to provide transparency in fine wine distribution, both directly to consumers and through partnerships with the on-trade. This collaboration benefits both producers and venues, ensuring that venues can demonstrate to their clients that every bottle, regardless of its age, comes directly from the domaine. Additionally, we are opening new avenues and visibility for producers to reach Langosteria’s loyal customer base. We are excited about this collaboration, which will offer our respective and similar clientele unique access to Langosteria’s outstanding dining experiences.”
Valentina Bertini, Wine Corporate Manager of Langosteria, adds “Through our partnership with Crurated we are able to offer our clientele further unparalleled access to some of the finest and rarest wines. The assurance of provenance and authenticity, provided by Crurated’s blockchain technology, aligns perfectly with our commitment to excellence and transparency, enhancing our guests’ dining experience.”
Langosteria’s commitment to delivering best-in-class dining experiences aligns with Crurated’s mission to connect enthusiasts with unique and exceptional collections. As part of this exclusive partnership, Crurated will provide Langosteria with a meticulously curated portfolio, showcasing a diverse range of rare and exquisite wines and spirits from around the world.
Trust and transparency are paramount; the unique blockchain technology which Crurated attaches to every bottle allows the Sommelier to present the complete provenance and authenticity to the client by tapping the NFC label on the bottle, reinforcing the bottle’s quality assurance, due to movement and storage locations potentially affecting the quality of fine wine.
This initiative will offer Crurated´s 5,000+ strong member community priority access to reserve tables across the Langosteria restaurants, along with a full programme of unique wine-related events to be announced to both Crurated members and Langosteria clients alike.
This collaboration creates opportunities for producers to showcase their portfolios in all the prestigious Langosteria venues worldwide. By partnering with Crurated, producers will have access to Langosteria’s high profile clientele, positioning their brands at the forefront of the fine dining scene.
