Mumbai, 25th November, 2009: Roberto Cavalli, one of the most important fashion designer worldwide renown, rocked the market of wines and spirits a few years ago with the launch of the ultra-premium Roberto Cavalli Vodka - inspired and dedicated to a sophisticated and elegant woman; the icon and eternal muse of Cavalli style. This super luxurious brand has taken its first step in India with Aspri Spirits Pvt Ltd., the leading importers and distributors of premium wines and spirits in India. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Aspri Spirits organized an exclusive cocktail evening today at JW Marriott in Juhu. Also present was Tommaso Cavalli, the son of the Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli along with the high society representatives of Mumbai. Tommaso Cavalli is responsible for Roberto Cavalli Vodka world wide expect America.

Roberto Cavalli is the first vodka to be made entirely in Italy, the country with the tradition and experience of the best distilleries. The vodka is made from the purest water of the Monta Rosa slopes, using the finest quality grains grown in the valleys where the South-Western Alps meet the river Po, and filtered through flakes of Italian Carrara marble. Using this unique production technique gives the brand its most exclusive character - sophisticated and elegant, for more discerning palates.

For many years Roberto Cavalli only shared the pleasure of this delicious ultra-premium vodka with family and friends. Famous for his busy nightlife and passion for having a good time, Roberto Cavalli later decided to open this treasure to the rest of the world.

The vodka embodies the captivating, seductive and quintessence of pure feminity, with the man himself being at the helm of the project, from inception to finish. True to the Cavalli fashion embroidering animal and natural designs, the vodka comes in a distinctive Serpentine style - a serpent coil embossed around the middle of the frosted bottle with silver snakehead spout.

Also showcased during the event was the award winning wine from the Cavalli family; Cavalli Tenuta Degli Dei, whose 25,000 bottles were recently released to the world markets, was carefully watched in the estate's cellars for three years. The wine of Tommaso and Roberto Cavalli is in fact not the fruit of a single vineyard, but rather two territories (one at Panzano in Chianti and the other in the foothills of Florence) whose characteristics complement each other: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Alicante meld perfectly, giving life to an IGT Toscana whose distinctive, well defined personality rotates around its smoothness. Like a silk dress, Cavalli Tenuta Degli Dei 2006 captures the senses, harmonizing the aromas of aromatic herbs, balsamic overtones, and fruit with balanced acidity, firm structure, velvety tannins, and an extremely long finish.

The night saw the guests experience and savor the smooth, clean taste of the refined Roberto Cavalli Vodka. Celebrities like Amrita Rao, Anita Dongre, Carol Gracias, Parvati Omanakuttan, Prahlad Kakkar, Rocky S, Tapur to name a few were seen enjoying a drink in the true Cavalli style, with elegance and sophistication.

Speaking at the celebration, Tommaso Cavalli said “We are very happy to have entered the Indian market with a strong partner like Aspri Spirits and I would like to take his opportunity to thank them for this wonderful evening that has given me the chance to meet the fascinating people of Mumbai and watch them enjoy the vodka. Roberto Cavalli Vodka is superior in quality and in taste. Having the drink means enjoying the extraordinary experience of a pleasure that is unique. The captivating and intense taste of Roberto Cavalli Vodka has received tremendous response from international markets and I am sure India will enjoy it as well.”

Speaking on the occasion of the launch of the Vodka, Sumedh Singh Mandla, CEO, Aspri Spirits said, “We are excited about this exclusive association with one of the biggest Italian names in fashion and now in spirits. The Cavalli brand makes a lifestyle statement. This vodka and wine is going to add style to our strong portfolio and we are very excited to see how Mumbaites will react to such super-premium beverages.
