MONTREAL – The Montreal Impact and Umberto Cesari took advantage of the club’s 25th anniversary to launch a special batch of wines. Three new wines will be available in limited edition during the Montreal Impact’s entire 2018 season.
Partners with the Impact since 2016, Umberto Cesari developed these wines to the tastes of Montrealers and Impact supporters.
“I am happy with this initiative, which shows the whole implication of a partner like Umberto Cesari,” said Montreal Impact president Joey Saputo, also owner of FC Bologna, Umberto Cesari’s hometown club. “It’s special and unique to have wines created specifically for our anniversary. We can’t wait to get these wines on the shelves and I think that Impact supporters and wine connoisseurs alike will appreciate them.”
“The Umberto Cesari and Montreal Impact partnership was born in our shared passion for soccer,” declared Univins and Spirits president, Daniel Richard. “The Umberto Cesari House hopes, through this alliance, to continue to grow its notoriety by offering wines of superior quality.”
The wines will be offered in limited quantity at the SAQ as of the month of May. A white wine will be offered for $16.95, a red wine for $16.95, and a top of the line red wine will have a $29.95 price tag.
