Boston, MA, March 25, 2024 – Caffè Nero, the coffeehouse known for its premium award winning Italian coffee, has partnered Boston-based Sicilian boxed natural wine brand, Alileo, to launch their first-ever “Coffee Winehouse Experience” in their Dedham, MA location at Legacy Place. The new partnership will expand on Caffè Nero’s authentic Italian cafés by bringing a new reason to visit and stay at the store by enjoying Sicilian wines. The partnership launches on March 22, 2024.
“The worlds of artisanal coffee and artisanal wines are symbiotic in Italian culture as is enjoying time with family and friends,” said Antonio Bertone, co-founder of Alileo. “We’re thrilled to be the first to partner with Caffè Nero to bring this truly Italian experience to their customers and have them enjoy our fantastic wines which are meant to be shared when gathering with friends and family.”
Created by husband and wife team Antonio Bertone and Alexandra Drane, Alileo is produced in partnership with Bertone’s family in Sicily and imported to the United States. A family endeavor, Bertone’s cousin lovingly crafts the wine in the seaside village of Marsala, Italy. At Caffè Nero, Alileo will serve its four 100% natural and unfiltered wines, which include Zibibbo Macerato, Young Grillo, Syrah and Rosato Bronzato.
Throughout the year, the “Coffee Winehouse Experience” will host events, such as weekly Wine and Words Book Clubs, educational wine tastings, pop-up shops and more. For more information or to purchase Alileo, visit www.alileowines.com.
