Andrés Iniesta: Bodega Iniesta (Spain)
The man who made all of Spain roar with excitement in the 2010 World Cup has an unbreakable connection to the land where he was born. In his native Fuentealbilla, in the province of Albacete, the midfielder founded the prestigious Bodega Iniesta in 2010. With more than 300 hectares of their own vineyards under the Manchuela Designation of Origin, his family project pays homage to the La Mancha landscape.
His flagship brand, Corazón Loco, reflects freshness and dynamism, while his premium line pays tribute to his loved ones. To accompany these bottles with a Spanish spirit, there is nothing better than a great pairing of cold cuts or roasted red meats with a high-end red wine from our collection.
Andrea Pirlo: Pratum Coller (Italy)
Known as "The Maestro" for his refined, elegant, and calculating playing style, Andrea Pirlo could not choose any other path than that of high-end wines. His childhood was spent helping with family harvests in Lombardy, which led him to found his own boutique winery: Pratum Coller.
Located in a region with a thousand-year-old tradition, Pirlo's winery focuses on very limited productions that rigorously respect the environment. Their proposals, ranging from complex reds based on Merlot grapes to refreshing rosés, stand out for their tremendous balance on the palate. They are wines that, like their creator on the field, exude class in every detail.
Lionel Messi: GOAT 10 and L10 Collection (Argentina and Italy)
The Argentine star has flirted with the wine sector at different stages of his glorious career. Initially, hand in hand with the legendary Argentine firm Bodegas Bianchi, he launched the L10 line with a charitable and solidarity approach alongside his foundation. However, his most recent oenological venture comes through a luxurious collaboration in Europe.
The GOAT 10 collection, made with historical producers from Italy, celebrates his universal legacy. Among its labels are a Primitivo varietal from southern Puglia and an elegant Syrah from Sicily. If you are looking to celebrate with the freshness and magic of the number ten, we recommend exploring and buying white wines online and rosés that complete his distinguished international portfolio.
Lautaro Martínez: Cittanina (Argentina)
"El Toro," the star striker of Inter Milan, has decided to strongly embrace his Latin American roots. Together with his wife Agustina Gandolfo, originally from Mendoza, he acquired a historic vineyard planted in 1930 in the prestigious area of Las Compuertas, in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza. This is how his boutique winery Cittanina was born.
Hand in hand with the prestigious winemaker Federico Isgró, Lautaro has launched the labels Pasión and Coraje, two 100% Malbecs that reflect the striker's grit combined with the elegance of the high mountains of Mendoza. It is a project with a future vision that will soon add wine tourism and luxury hospitality experiences.
How to enjoy the wine of these legends?
Each of these projects faithfully reflects the personality of their creators: the finesse and precision of the midfielder is noticeable in the subtle acidity of their reds, while the strength of the striker translates into robust bottles with great aging potential. To pair these jewels, we suggest buying sparkling wines ideal for celebrating any victory at the table or in front of the screen.
