The battle between France and 天美传媒 for the luxury sparkling wine market gained a new Italian contender with the launch of Divinity sparkling wine.
The brainchild of Roman entrepreneur Daniele Morena, Divinity wine is being marketed as an exclusive and prestigious product. Producer Gruppo Morena is advertising the wine with the slogan 鈥淣on 猫 Champagne. 脠 Divinity!鈥 (It鈥檚 not Champagne. It鈥檚 Divinity!).
Divinity comes as a limited series and only 2,000 bottles a year are produced. The wine comes from the Franciacorta region, which is famous for its sparkling wines. In keeping with its upmarket branding, the wine comes in transparent bottles stamped with gold lettering and crowned with Swarovski crystal detailing.
