Prosecco, a sparkling wine from the Veneto region of Italy, was undermarketed in the U.S. Mionetto sought to overcome this, as well as the American perception that 'bubbly' is just for weddings and New Year’s Eve. DCI saw a place at the table for Mionetto by positioning Prosecco as the perfect accompaniment to a variety of foods, and a refreshing drink anytime. These themes were then distilled through program components such as trade targeting, press luncheons and tours to the Veneto, tasting opportunities for lifestyle arbiters, and a media blitz of print, broadcast and internet placements mixing food and wine, lifestyle, and travel media.

REAL RESULTS
With key story placements keeping the profile fizzing, Mionetto has become synonymous with Prosecco. The product is enjoying both increased distribution and a growing reputation for enhancing any occasion. Plus sales have grown 40% - we’ll raise a glass to that!
