US-based private label spirits developer Iconic Brands has secured a contract to ship Bellissima Zero Sugar Sparking wine to Finland.

Under the contract, Iconic Brands will be initially shipping 480 cases of Bellissima Zero Sugar Sparking wine directly to Finland.

With this new contract, the company intends to expand its footprint in the European market.

The private label spirits developer noted that it is working with its UK partners on the regulatory process required to get Bellissima into the UK market.

Iconic Brands also revealed that it will be sending a sample shipment to Australia by the first week of June this year.

The company said in its press release: “This sample shipment will pave the way to the opening of the Australian and New Zealand markets respectively.”

Concurrently, the company announced the launch of the corporate online store, which will be featuring new products representing the brand portfolio.

The online store will also feature lifestyle-related products including custom glassware, corkscrews and related goods.

Currently, Iconic Brands’ offerings include Bivi Vodka and Bellissima Prosecco.

Through its new subsidiary Hempology, the company also intends to produce hemp and CBD liquor based products, where it is legal.

“This sample shipment will pave the way to the opening of the Australian and New Zealand markets respectively.”

In addition, the company is creating a direct to consumer (DTC) option for customers to be able to purchase wine directly through the company website.

The company noted that the partnership with its logistics and fulfilment partner has been finalised and will soon release details about the launch date.

Last July, Iconic Brands began shipments of Bella Sprizz, including Classic and Elderflower-flavoured aperitifs.

The new range of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic aperitifs was first launched at the WSWA National Convention in Las Vegas, US. It will now be released in New York, Illinois and Nevada.
