What Vini La Delizia does

Vini La Delizia (legal name: Viticoltori Friulani La Delizia S.c.a.) is an Italian agricultural cooperative winery founded in 1931 in Casarsa della Delizia, Friuli Venezia Giulia. The cooperative is owned by over 380 member-associates who contribute grapes from approximately 2,000 hectares of vineyards, producing 26 million bottles annually and ranking 11th nationally in Italy by volume and top 10 in sparkling wine production. The company operates three facilities: its headquarters and production facility in Casarsa della Delizia, a 100-hectare research estate in Pantianicco, and a logistics hub in Zoppola.

The company produces sparkling wines, still wines, and grappa across six sub-brands: Naonis (mainstream sparkling Prosecco DOC), Jadér (premium sparkling cuvées), La Delizia (core portfolio), UVA (sustainable Prosecco with eco-friendly packaging), Sass Ter (premium still wines), and Le Grappe (grappa spirits). Sparkling wines are produced using the Charmat-Martinotti method in autoclaves, with over 50 autoclaves supporting production capacity. The company has pioneered the first Prosecco DOC with sustainability verified across the entire supply chain (UVA), featuring SQNPI certified grapes, 86% recycled glass bottles, FSC cork, and labels made from grape residue paper. Certifications include SQNPI, BRC and IFS food safety, EU Organic, and FSC.

The business model is B2B2C with revenue from wine and spirits sales through two primary Italian channels (60% large-scale retail distribution/GDO, 40% Horeca/hospitality), international export markets (55% of total revenue, serving USA, UK, and Europe), and a small direct-to-consumer wine shop at headquarters. Distribution is managed through a network of 100 sales agents. FY2022/2023 revenue was €67.5 million, with exports growing at +69.27% in 2021/2022 and +25.82% in 2022/2023. The cooperative raises revenue through one-time product sales without disclosed pricing or subscription models.
