The Three P’s of Marketing...Pizza, Pasta, Prosecco. Right?   Well, they proved the perfect mix at the European Pizza Show this week!    It was a whirlwind couple of days representing La Gioiosa. 🍕💫   The festive-season-ready Prosecco Rosé captured many a heart and mind.   Meanwhile, Asolo DOCG was flexing its food-pairing skills with pasta cooked in a massive Parmesan wheel – it’s called ‘alla Ruota’, we’re told. It also matched dangerously well with the show’s winning pizza topping: a divine Gorgonzola, truffle honey and prosciutto combination concocted by a talented Neapolitan chef.   Thanks to everyone who visited our stand, and a special shoutout to our neighbours, Mammafiore, for bringing the vibes – and plenty of freshly made pizza! Salute!🥂 #europeanpizzashow #lagioiosa #prosecco La Gioiosa S.p.A. Villa Sandi - Famiglia Moretti Polegato

We are always looking for ways to improve our business—our service, portfolio, offering, and culture. To achieve this, feedback is essential. Every year, we ask our suppliers, customers, and staff to let us know how we’re performing. This helps us identify areas for improvement. First up is our Supplier Satisfaction Survey. We were delighted to see a 4.8% increase in average scores compared to last year, reflecting the strong partnerships we’ve built with our suppliers. The full details and results can be found in our latest blog. #suppliersatisfaction #bcorp #continualimprovement https://loom.ly/rzSz5Mo

Today is Carbon Literacy Action Day. With everything happening in the world right now, it feels especially important to raise awareness of the impact of carbon emissions and consider what we can all do to reduce our footprint. This year, our team took part in Carbon Literacy training. It was eye-opening, gut-wrenching, and mind-focusing in equal measure. The course made us consider the many small improvements we can make in our daily lives, as well as the larger, company-wide initiatives we can implement. We were challenged to select one measurable improvement relevant to our roles and commit to it for the year ahead. This training is now part of our onboarding process, ensuring that every new team member integrates it into their work life from the start. Every action counts toward a more sustainable future.

A few weeks ago, we took a lovely group of customers to the Rhône Valley to visit Maison Brotte. They packed a lot into two days: tours of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Cairanne, and Laudun; an intense North vs South pétanque match; and some epic French gastronomy. Emily Brighton MW shares all the details in our latest blog. Énorme thank you to Thibault, Maxence and the team at Brotte for such a fantastic trip. https://loom.ly/JwsDwjw #MaisonBrotte #ChateauneufduPape #RhoneValley #Wineimporter #Winetrip

One week ago Elisa Valentinelli and Antonio Salvoni were at SID - Sustainability in Drinks event for the inaugural conference "Creating Value through Sustainability" and the exibition at St. Mary's Wyndham Place in London with #SantaTresa, #Cortese and #Purato wines! #TheWinePeople #TWPontheroad #OrganicWines #SicilianWines #Sustainability

As reported in Chris Wilson's article in The Buyer, our perception of the Austrian category was also challenged when we first tried wines from our Austrian partner Weingut Salzl Seewinkelhof . Nestled in the heart of the Neusiedlersee National Park (the region is also a World Unesco Heritage site by the way) , it produces compelling wines made of both local and international grapes. We were charmed by the salty tang on the whites and the vivacity of the reds. If you wish to taste for yourself, the range will be available to sample at the Austrian Wine Tasting - 11th of November - The Stables - Unit X - 40 Earlham Street London WC2H 9LH Don't miss it! https://lnkd.in/e7Ri84HK

Our brand new Independents Wine List has landed! 📜🍷 We went back to the drawing board with this one, wanting to create a visual identity that feels very 'North South Wines' but tailored to the Indies channel. So, we enlisted the expertise of Sam Johnson at Pieno, whom we met at Grapest Hits last year. Together with designer Sean Knowles, we developed a fresh design scheme, refined the tone and wrote completely new copy to showcase the diverse array of producers in our portfolio. It's a bold step forward and we're thrilled with the result! We enlisted fellow Bicester-based B Corp, Webmart , to print the physical copies. These are printed on recycled paper with Webmart calculating, mitigating and offsetting the environmental impact of each project. In this case, 1,049g of CO2e has been offset. ♻️🌱 A huge thank you to Sam, Sean and Alexander Buck at Webmart for helping us bring this to life!
