Virginia's leading winery expands communications program in the US market
NEW YORK, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Early Mountain Vineyards, one of Virginia's top wine estates and leading innovators, has announced Colangelo & Partners, a fine wine, spirits, and food-focused integrated communications agency, as its agency of record to develop and execute a strategic integrated communications program in 2024. The partnership will focus on growing the reputation of Early Mountain as a producer of exemplary wines from Virginia.
Jean and Steve Case founded Early Mountain in 2012 with a vision to produce wines from Virginia that could stand side-by-side with the best wines of the world. A Virginia resident for more than 40 years, Jean has led Early Mountain to become a celebrated producer in the state and is particularly proud of showing Virginia's bounty not only with wine from EMV's premier portfolio of wines, but with an award-winning tasting room that offers locally sourced ingredients prepared by Executive Chef Tim Moore, former sous chef at Three-Michelin Star The Inn at Little Washington.
"Our team at Early Mountain is thrilled to partner with Colangelo & Partners to engage with wine lovers and offer audiences a glimpse into the elegance and promise of Virginia fine wine," Jean Case said. "Over the past decade, we've developed a deep understanding of Virginia's terroirs and, thanks to the hard work and commitment of our team at Early Mountain, and a commitment to quality, we've developed a portfolio of wines that stand side-by-side with the best wines in the world."
Under the guidance of winemaker Maya Hood White, Early Mountain has developed an award-winning portfolio of fine wines that bring out the best of the premium vineyards that Early Mountain has identified and cultivated over the past decade. In particular, Early Mountain's Quaker Run vineyard, located 14 miles north of the winery with steep rocky slopes formed from a landslide long ago, is central to the success of the winery's flagship reds: RISE and Eluvium, as well as their single varietals bottlings of Tannat, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay, while the Early Mountain vineyard at the winery is the backbone for their award winning Petit Manseng and flagship white, Intention.
Colangelo & Partners President Gino Colangelo expressed his excitement about the new partnership, "As a team of passionate wine lovers and category builders, we are thrilled to be working alongside Early Mountain and the fine wines of Virginia," Gino Colangelo said. "Virginian wine is nothing new, but the head-turning caliber of wines coming from Early Mountain is a testament to their hard work, and we are excited to be a part of their growth in the U.S. market."
