WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Feb. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mionetto USA enters the sparkling wine can category with Italian brand, Bollicini. Bollicini offers two 187ml single serving size canned wines, Cuvée and Rosé, with attractive color scheme and packaging. The wines are blends of Italian varietals offering crisp fruit flavors.

According to Nielsen, Bollicini is a top three sparkling wine can brand, a category that has seen three-digit growth of 140 percent in the past year. “We believe the millennial wine consumer’s demand for innovation is driving this growth.” said Mionetto USA Managing Director and CEO, Enore Ceola. “This generation is particularly experimental and conscious of social responsibility. Cans are increasingly popular for multiple reasons: convenience, versatility and portability.” In addition to being the perfect solution for public venues where glass is not permitted, Bollicini’s eco-friendly packaging has a low carbon footprint and high recycle rate, adding to the usage benefits.
