Established in 2005 by Robin Copestick and Paul Murray, Copestick Murray has established itself as one of the top wine importers in the UK. The company’s portfolio includes the ‘I heart’ wine brand, which has enjoyed dynamic global growth since its launch in 2010.
The Henkell & Co Group entered the UK in 2011 with the launch of its own distribution company. A main focus of the joint venture will be to develop Mionetto as a leading Prosecco brand in the UK.
“The UK is the largest market for Prosecco Spumante (DOC) outside of Italy and one of the fastest growing markets for Prosecco overall,” said Dr Andreas Brokemper, CEO of Henkell & Co Group. “The Mionetto brand gives us a leading Italian Prosecco brand with a long history and superlative quality. In the US, we have played an important role in shaping and creating the Prosecco trend and we are now the market leader. We are fully confident that the Copestick Murray team, together with our own sales organisation, will establish the Mionetto brand in the UK as well.”
