What Freixenet Mionetto USA does

Freixenet Mionetto USA is the US import and distribution subsidiary of Henkell Freixenet, operating as the exclusive American arm for the parent company's portfolio of more than 100 wine brands sourced from six countries (Spain, Italy, France, Germany, England, and the United States). Headquartered in White Plains, New York, the company was formed in 2019 through the combination of Freixenet (Spanish Cava) and Mionetto (Italian Prosecco) US operations, and manages iconic heritage brands including Freixenet, Mionetto, Korbel, Gloria Ferrer, Alfred Gratien, Segura Viudas, and Schloss Johannisberg across sparkling, still, and alcohol-removed categories.

The company's product portfolio spans Spanish Cava, Italian Prosecco, California sparkling wines, French Champagne and Crémant, German Sekt and Riesling, Italian still wines from Tuscany and Piedmont, English wines, and a growing non-alcohol line that includes alcohol-removed sparkling wines and alcohol-free aperitivos.

The company also operates wholly-owned subsidiaries Gloria Ferrer (Carneros, California sparkling) and Korbel (Sonoma County méthode champenoise).

Revenue is generated through traditional wine and spirits wholesale distribution to retailers, restaurants, hotels, and event venues across the United States, complemented by a consumer-facing product locator and direct inquiry channels. The company serves two primary customer segments: adult consumers seeking sparkling and still wines for celebrations, dining, and mindful consumption occasions, and trade partners requiring diverse portfolio supply with marketing and educational support. Leadership is headed by CEO, President and Managing Director Enore Ceola, with heritage winemaking talent including Mionetto Head Winemaker Alessio del Savio retained across the portfolio.
