The introduction of Aquarius signifies another exceptional sparkling wine from the acclaimed Prosecco Superiore DOCG producer in Valdobbiadene
ST. HELENA, Calif., Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Aquarius Blanc de Blancs, the latest addition to Valdo's extensive portfolio, has now arrived in the US market. This sparkling wine represents the newest Blanc de Blancs to be produced by Valdo, the renowned Prosecco producer in Valdobbiadene. Aquarius Blanc de Blancs is the result of an exceptional collaboration between Valdo's winemaking expertise and the artistic vision of Ceci Johnson, esteemed American artist and founder behind Ceci New York. The bottle's design, conceptualized by Ceci New York, is brought to life through Johnson's hand-painted artistry. The Aquarius label features organic color pigments applied directly onto the glass, creating a distinctive, 3D textured, tactile embossed finish.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be diving back into the sparkling world of Valdo. Following the incredible response to 'Paradise,' collaborating with Valdo again on Aquarius feels like a natural continuation," says artist Ceci Johnson, "For Aquarius, we drew inspiration from the magic and elegance of the underwater world, and together with Valdo, we were able to translate that vision into a design that perfectly captures the essence of both our brands."
With a careful selection of Garganega and Glera grapes, this Extra Dry Blanc de Blancs showcases the winemaking artistry of the Bolla family. The wine boasts a light straw-yellow color and offers a bouquet that is both delicate and expansive, marked by fresh floral notes, tropical fruit, and subtle hints of greenery. Its flavor profile is persistent and harmonious, delivering a well-balanced sweetness and a refined, smooth finish. Produced using the Martinotti method and aged in the bottle, this sparkling wine features 11.0% alcohol and 15 g/L of residual sugar, available in a 750ml format.
Founded in 1926, Valdo has been a leader in Prosecco production for nearly a century. With a commitment to excellence and passion, Valdo has been serving the U.S. market since 2008, offering a diverse range of Prosecco and sparkling wines for any occasion.

"We're incredibly excited to bring Aquarius Blanc de Blancs to the U.S. market, " says Matteo Bolla, third generation family member from Valdo, based in the U.S. "Aquarius embodies Valdo's dynamic and innovative spirit with its distinctive character and striking bottle design. Ceci's creative vision has elevated the bottle to a new level of artistry, and we believe Aquarius will captivate a wide audience seeking wines that combine exceptional quality with innovative design."
The launch of Aquarius in the US market signifies a significant step forward for Valdo and the Bolla family, expanding their sparkling wine portfolio.
