Richard DeCicco, Chief Executive Officer of Iconic, stated, “Our partner Christie Brinkley, along with the two fabulous QVC hosts, David Venable and Alberti Popaj, sold close to 30,000 bottles of Bellissima with only 25 minutes of air time. This is an astounding number and an affirmation that people want access to our Bellissima products. We were very excited for Christie and our Bellissima brand of Prosecco that was featured on QVC. Being showcased on QVC is a major milestone for any company, as it adds to an increase of visibility, exposure, and sales. As we continue to see an increase in product demand, we remain focused on delivering superior products to our customers. We look forward to building on this momentum as we continue to expand our relationship with QVC and promote the Bellissima line of Prosecco and Sparkling Wines. Major chains are starting to recognize the brand and we expect to add more locations to our ever growing footprint of distributors and retail.”
Iconic also congratulates its partner and Co-Founder of Bellissima Prosecco and Sparkling Wines, Christie Brinkley. Christie’s dedication continues to drive Bellissima toward success and her inspiration and passion continue to motivate her to provide best-in-class products to the market while remaining at the forefront of product innovation.
Christie Brinkley has been instrumental in the development of Bellissima, an all-natural and Vegan Prosecco and Sparkling Wine line made from organic grapes. During her illustrious career, Christie has appeared on over 500 magazine covers worldwide, served as a spokeswoman for CoverGirl, and performed on Broadway, in television and in film.
“Over the five years to 2024, growth in per capita expenditure on alcohol is expected to support revenue growth for the wine and spirits wholesaling industry due to consumer demand at the retail level, especially for premium products and brands. Increases in disposable income, consumer spending, and demand from beer, wine, and liquor stores will drive revenue growth, as will the continual decline in the real price of excise taxes on wine and distilled spirits. Industry operators will continue to fight any attempts at deregulation, although no immediate threats exist. Over the five years to 2024, industry revenue is estimated to increase an annualized 2.9% to $128.5 billion in 2024,” according to IBIS World Industry Market Research.
The Bellissima offerings include Prosecco DOC Brut, Sparkling Rosé Wine, and Zero Sugar Sparkling Wine, all made with organic grapes and certified vegan and gluten free.
In Italian, Bellissima doesn’t just mean beautiful, but “most beautiful.” This spirit inspires the Company’s collection of Prosecco and Sparkling Wines, developed in concert with one of the world’s most beautiful women, Christie Brinkley.
The Company believes an occasion for Bellissima is an occasion to celebrate life’s most beautiful moments among friends, family, lovers, and lovers-to-be. So have fun. Flirt. Smile. Laugh. Love. Open your eyes to all the beauty the world has to offer. And in those moments, remind yourself: #ThisIsBellissima.
