New Prosecco Collection: Famiglia Gasparetto
Our portfolio has been expanded with a new Italian arrival — the Famiglia Gasparetto Prosecco range, produced by the family winery Rive della Chiesa in the Veneto region. It represents a modern interpretation of the classic Prosecco DOC Treviso style, combining family winemaking traditions with technical precision.
 
The winery was founded in 1963 by the Gasparetto family on the hills of Montello and Asolo. Mineral soils, a mild climate and vineyards located at different elevations create ideal conditions for cultivating Glera, the principal grape variety used in Prosecco production. Today the estate is managed by the second and third generations of the family, preserving a philosophy of attentive vineyard work and delicate vinification. Thanks to this approach, the wines of Rive della Chiesa are distinguished by their purity of style, expressive aromatics and fine, persistent perlage, which has become a hallmark of the estate’s Prosecco.
 
The Famiglia Gasparetto range is a tribute to the family heritage of the winery. It showcases the elegant, pure and fruit-driven style of Prosecco from the province of Treviso, one of the key production areas of this sparkling wine. Through the use of modern equipment and strict temperature control throughout the production process, the wines retain freshness, aromatic precision and delicate perlage — essential characteristics of high-quality Prosecco DOC.
 
Our assortment includes three wines from this collection.
- Famiglia Gasparetto Prosecco DOC Treviso Brut. A classic Prosecco style highlighting the freshness and purity of the Glera grape. The wine displays a pale straw colour with fine perlage. The bouquet reveals notes of white flowers, apple and pear, complemented by delicate citrus nuances. The palate is light and harmonious, with vibrant acidity and a subtle mineral finish.
- Famiglia Gasparetto Prosecco DOC Treviso Extra Dry. One of the most popular Prosecco styles, combining fruitiness with softness. The bouquet is dominated by floral and fruity aromas typical of the Glera variety. On the palate the wine is rounded, fresh and elegant, with refined aromatic persistence.
- Famiglia Gasparetto Prosecco Rosé DOC Treviso Brut. A modern style of Italian sparkling wine produced from Glera and Pinot Nero, giving the wine its refined pink colour and additional aromatic complexity. The bouquet reveals red berries, peach and citrus nuances, complemented by light minerality and delicate perlage.
 
Rive della Chiesa pays particular attention to vineyard work, careful harvesting and minimal intervention during the winemaking process. This approach allows the winery to preserve the natural character of the grapes and highlight the identity of the region. Today the estate’s wines are exported to more than 30 countries worldwide, with Prosecco remaining the signature expression of the Gasparetto family.
 
Famiglia Gasparetto represents modern Prosecco DOC Treviso, where tradition, terroir and technology come together to create elegant and expressive sparkling wines.
Navy Island Rum - new in the portfolio

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.
