Navy Island Rum - new in the portfolio
We are pleased to present a new addition to our portfolio — Navy Island Rum, a collection of premium Caribbean rums created with deep respect for classic maritime heritage and the modern culture of aged distillates. This is a rum for connoisseurs of structure, balance, and authentic origin-driven character.
 
Navy Island Rum is inspired by the history of the Caribbean — a region where rum evolved over centuries as the drink of sailors, merchants, and colonial ports. At the core of the brand’s style lies the blending of distillates of different ages, maturation in carefully selected oak casks, and minimal intervention in the spirit’s natural profile. The result is a range of complex, profound rums with a clearly defined identity.
 
Navy Island is defined by:
- the use of Caribbean molasses and traditional distillation methods;
- maturation in ex-bourbon barrels and other noble casks;
- a balance between power, depth, and elegance;
- a clean, honest taste without aggressive sweetness.
 
We present three Navy Island Rum lines:
- Navy Island — the flagship brand inspired by the long-standing traditions of Jamaican rum making.
- Belizean Blue — a premium rum from Belize with a focus on sustainability, ethical trade practices, and Fairtrade certification.
- Caña Mística — a new chapter in the history of rum.
 
Our Navy Island Rum portfolio:
- Caña Mística Reserva — an aged Caribbean rum with a soft, rounded character. The profile reveals warm tropical notes, hints of vanilla, caramelised sugar, and gentle spice. Well-structured with a harmonious finish.
- Navy Island XO Reserve — an XO blend with extended ageing, showcasing depth and complexity. The flavour profile features dark cane sugar, dried fruits, noble wood, and soft spices. A rum with a pronounced texture and a long, refined finish.
- Navy Island Navy Strength — a powerful rum in the classic Navy Strength style with elevated alcohol strength. Concentrated aromatics, intense flavour, and a bold character without losing balance. A true interpretation of the historic naval style.
- Belizean Blue Signature Blend — an elegant blend from Belize that combines softness and freshness with a subtle tropical sweetness. The palate reveals ripe fruit, light floral nuances, and a delicate oak note.
- Belizean Blue Rare Blend — a rare, limited-edition blend crafted from specially selected distillates. A complex, multi-layered profile with deep woody and spicy accents, refined and long-lasting on the finish.
 
Navy Island Rum is not just a new arrival, but a cohesive collection of characterful rums that seamlessly complements a portfolio of premium spirits. Each expression reflects respect for origin, maturation, and the art of blending, while international recognition confirms the high calibre of the brand. We invite you to discover Navy Island Rum — Caribbean classic reimagined in a modern, professional style.
 
Tasting of Piemonte New Releases

Tasting of Piemonte New Releases

In Kyiv, at the atmospheric BEEF meat&wine restaurant, a professional tasting of new wines from the Piemonte region took place, attended by sommeliers from the city’s leading restaurants. The event was hosted by the renowned Kyiv sommelier Oleksii Durov, while the winemakers joined via Zoom, sharing insights into their winery philosophies, terroir characteristics, and production specifics.

This time, guests had the opportunity to get acquainted with two remarkable representatives of Piemonte — Diego Conterno and Villa Pani. Both wineries were showcased in Ukraine for the first time in such a professional format, making the tasting an important step in introducing Ukrainian sommeliers to new regional offerings.

The wines presented included:
Diego Conterno: Langhe Nascetta, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barolo Del Comune di Monforte d’Alba, Barolo Le Coste di Monforte.
Villa Pani: Gavi DOCG, Barbera Piemonte DOC, Barbera d’Asti Superiore DOCG, Barbera Appassimento Piemonte DOC, Barbaresco DOCG, Barolo DOCG.

Each wine was presented with commentary on its style, vintages, and winemaking specifics. Participants had the chance to evaluate both classic expressions of Nebbiolo and Barbera, as well as more contemporary and innovative interpretations.

The meeting took place in a warm, professional atmosphere. Thanks to the work of sommelier Oleksii Durov and the active participation of the wineries’ representatives, the event turned into a meaningful dialogue between producers and Ukrainian experts. Participants highlighted the depth of Diego Conterno wines, the authenticity of each Barolo, and the balanced, modern character of the Villa Pani range.

This professional tasting became an important step in presenting new wines to the Ukrainian market. We thank all sommeliers for their participation, engaging discussions, and genuine interest in the wines of Piemonte. More events, new releases, and collaboration opportunities lie ahead.

New Arrival from Italy — Signoria dei Duchi Lambrusco
Great news: we are excited to announce the arrival of new wines from Italy! Our assortment has been expanded with an exclusive selection of Lambrusco from the legendary producer Signoria dei Duchi (Chiarli 1860), based in the Emilia-Romagna region.
Available now — three wines in amabile style (slightly sweet, vividly fruity, and incredibly easy to drink):
- Signoria dei Duchi Lambrusco Bianco — Lambrusco Bianco IGT.
- Signoria dei Duchi Lambrusco Rosso — Lambrusco Rosso IGT.
- Signoria dei Duchi Lambrusco Rosato — Lambrusco Rosato IGT.
Chiarli 1860 is the oldest winery in Emilia-Romagna and the first to officially launch commercial production of Lambrusco. The story began in 1860, when a Modena innkeeper, Fernando (Cleto) Chiarli, decided to bottle and sell his own wine. That decision marked the beginning of a legend: Chiarli became the first to present Lambrusco to the wider public, and soon their wines gained recognition far beyond Italy.
For over 160 years, the Chiarli family has preserved this heritage, staying true to the traditions and character of their region.
Today, Chiarli is a major European wine group that combines tradition with modern technology.
Within the company operates PR.I.V.I. S.r.l — the production facility responsible for bottling and quality control. It is here that the Signoria dei Duchi brand is crafted — approachable and popular Lambrusco wines made for export.
What makes these wines special?
- Fruitiness and freshness above all — a light, lively and friendly style
- Low alcohol content (7.5–11%) — perfect for relaxed enjoyment
- Extremely food-friendly: pairs beautifully with pizza, pasta, antipasti and grilled dishes
- In premium lines, the Charmat lungo method is used, adding depth and complexity.
Chiarli 1860 is a story of how a family winery became a symbol of Lambrusco — without losing its soul, traditions and love for wine that brings people together.
