June 21 – Mionetto SpA recorded an extremely positive growth for 2012 with a turnover of € 56.2 million (+ 7.6%) and a volume of 17.6 million bottles (+6% compared to 2011). The upward trend is due to an expansion on international markets accounting for almost half of total sales and +30% in value, with the US playing a leading role, with a 28% increase in volume. In the US, Mionetto represents its best known brand, Prosecco, and since 1998 it has set up a headquarter in Mionetto Usa Inc. Mionetto won in 2012, for the 4th consecutive year, the coveted Hot Brand Award, a prize awarded by the business magazine Impact-Market Watch to brands that, in the last five years, recorded in the U.S. market a double-digit growth and a minimum of 1.2 million bottles sold. In addition to the Hot Brand Award, Mionetto has won, since the beginning of 2013, new major awards in the most important international wine competitions: second place at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in London and at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles and third place at the Decanter World Wine Awards in London. “The success that Mionetto records in international markets – says Alessio Del Savio, winemaker and technical director and spokesman of the Management Committee of Mionetto SpA – is confirmed by the continuous accolades in the most important international wine competitions. This success is due to the complete dedication to quality and attention to detail that the winery puts at every stage of the production process. Thanks to the privileged relationship with our directors and increasingly restrictive quality parameters, we are able to obtain a final product of extreme excellence capable of convincing consumers and estimators in Italy and abroad.”
