8 REGION OVERVIEW: EMILIA-ROMAGNA EMILIA-ROMAGNA Emilia-Romagna, located in the north of Italy, is so named for the road called the Aemelia, which was built by the Romans to cross from the capital on the Western Coast over to the Adriatic Sea. It is famed for being the food capital of Italy, producing such international favorites as Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano, and of course Lasagna Bolognese. It also boasts a superior Viticultural sector, and is 4th among Italy s 20 regions for wine production. 33% of its wines are DOC/DOCG recognized, and 60% are reds. Of all the wines produced in Emilia-Romagna, the best known is Lambrusco. A native vine with a 2,000 year old history in the land, it is true staple in the Italian diet, and has been for centuries. Indeed, when the Seven Country Study was conducted in the early 20th century, scientists were intrigued by how the Emiliani could remain so fit, despite their high-fat diet. This was attributed, in part, to certain properties of the Lambrusco grape that appear to help counteract the fattiness of those foods. IMPORTANT GRAPE VARIETIES: White Malvasia Trebbiano Ortrugo Sauvignon Blanc (Spergola) Muller Thurgau Moscato Pinot Grigio Tocai Garganega Pinot Bianco Pignoletto IMPORTANT WINE TYPES: White Moscato Albana Bianco di Scandiano Montuni Pagadebit Trebbiano Red Lambrusco Lancellotta Bonarda Sangiovese Dolcetto Marzemino Montepulciano Pinot Nero Cagnina Red Lambrusco Sangiovese Colli Bolognesi Colli di Parma Colli Piacentini 4

9 BRAND SUMMARY SUMMARY Riunite, America s #1 and best-loved Italian Red Wine for over 4 decades, is the leading producer of classic wines from Central Italy s Emilia-Romagna Region, home to prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano and balsamic vinegar. In 1950, nine wine producers from the agriculturally rich Emilia-Romagna region, home to many of Italy s famed indigenous alimentary products, united to form the Cantine Cooperative Riunite. The Cooperative s goal was to not only reflect the outstanding wine historically produced in agricultural Emilia, but to join forces in dynamic synergy which would transform small village wineries and individual farmers into a highly respected world-class concern that would never forget its roots and core values. With the 1967 introduction of Riunite Lambrusco in the U.S., Riunite quickly became an American phenomenon, introducing millions of consumers to their first taste of wine and igniting the country s love affair with Italian wine. With the memorable jingle Riunite on Ice, That s Nice, Riunite became America s #1 imported wine in 1976 and held that position for a remarkable 26 years, setting sales records that remain unmet by any other import. In 1993, Riunite was the first winery in Europe to receive the prestigious ISO 9002 and ISO Quality Certification, guaranteeing that every stage of wine production meets the most stringent quality standards. THREE KEY SELLING POINTS: 1. #1 Imported Wine in US History: In the US alone, Riunite has sold over 165 million cases to date. 2. Riunite is an Iconic Brand with a rich heritage and tradition of making quality wines. 3. Appealing, Drinkable Wine: Riunite s portfolio of wines are all soft, and semi-dry, with a forthright fruitiness that appeals to the American palate.

10 KEY PLAYERS Vanni Lusetti - Winemaker I was born here in Italy s beautiful Reggio Emilia and I ve been making wine for most of my life. As I see it, there should be no snobbery involved in either making or drinking the wine. That s why I put a lifetime of expertise to work every day creating wine that people like me can enjoy not only at the table, but while reading, listening to music, or cheering for the local team. Our region is proud of a winemaking tradition dating back over 2,000 years. Chief Winemaker, Vanni Lusetti. Chief Winemaker Vanni Lusetti is a native of the Emilia region, the heartland of Lambrusco, known for its fine food and thriving agriculture. Having been raised in an area with such a strong heritage of agriculture and such an abundance of vineyards, Vanni soon discovered his passion for winemaking. He pursued his oenological studies and earned his degree in Winemaking at the famed university in Conegliano Veneto. During his tenure as a winemaker after graduating, he has continued his studies in Winemaking and Winegrowing, as well as in Marketing and International Business. Vanni joined Cantine Riunite in the 1970 s and after just a few short years, owing to his passion for his job and dedication to creating great wines, he quickly achieved the position of Chief Winemaker. In 2003, Mr. Lusetti was also appointed to the position of General Manager of Cantine Cooperative Riunite. More than just a job, winemaking has always been a passion for Vanni, and after many years, he still has the same enthusiasm and devotion. His purpose is to make and sell wines that are approachable and enjoyable with all types of food.
