Riunite Reinforces Category Leadership with 360-Degree Marketing Campaign for National Lambrusco Day this June
Capitalizing on the Growth of the Spritz and Low-ABV Preferences, Riunite Expands Its Reach Across a New Generation of Drinkers
NEW YORK, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Riunite, the historic Italian wine brand and global leader in Lambrusco, announces a series of local tasting events across the U.S. in celebration of National Lambrusco Day on June 21, 2025. These events are part of a broader, nationwide campaign designed to honor the occasion and reintroduce Lambrusco to today's wine drinker, while maintaining Riunite's position as the global leader in the category.
"We're thrilled to bring people together over the standout pairing of Riunite Lambrusco and pizza" says Elena Lottici, Export Manager at Cantine Riunite. "With these activations, Riunite is cementing its role as the driving force behind National Lambrusco Day—making it a key moment for both the brand and the broader Lambrusco category. And what better way to celebrate National Lambrusco Day, honor Riunite's legacy, and showcase the lively, food-friendly character of the wine."
Italy's largest wine group—and currently the #1 selling Italian red value brand under $11 in the U.S.— is once again winning over a new generation of consumers by combining nostalgic appeal with a fresh, modern twist. After nearly three decades as one of the top 10 imported wines in the U.S., the brand is experiencing renewed momentum through a nationwide marketing campaign focused on the experience/occasion of pizza / pairing to introduce the brand and the larger Lambrusco category in an approachable and accessible way.
With an AI-powered pizza contest that has become a standout element of its efforts to engage a new generation of consumers, already attracting over 12,000 participants across the country, with winners set to receive a year's supply of pizza.
To reinforce its strong position in the category and celebrate National Lambrusco Day, Riunite has invested in a refreshed digital presence, including a new website, along with social media, influencer partnerships, strategic communications, and paid media initiatives. Additionally, events in partnership with Liquid Productions will be held in cities across the country, including NYC, Milwaukee, Nashville, Chicago, Dallas, and Tampa Bay.
Event Schedule:
Milwaukee - June 8, 4-6 PM at Fixture Pizza
Nashville - June 14, 2-5 PM at Coco's Italian Market
Chicago - June 19, 6-8 PM at Barraco's
Dallas - June 22, 11:30 AM-2 PM at Giro Trattoria & Pizza
Tampa Bay - June 14, 12-3 PM at Lueken's Liquors
All events are open to the public and 21+. Availability may vary by location.
With a naturally low alcohol content (6–8% ABV across the portfolio), Riunite is perfectly aligned with today's consumer preferences. Building on Lambrusco's market dominance and the growing popularity of spritz cocktails—now a top 3 trending cocktail and among the top 2 most consumed in the U.S., according to the latest report by Ground Signal—Riunite recently introduced the Lambrusco Spritz: a refreshing blend of Lambrusco, sparkling wine, and a splash of lemon, served over ice and garnished with a vibrant lemon wheel. This modern twist reflects the brand's playful, easy-drinking spirit. And when paired with a slice of pizza? It's the ultimate expression of laid-back Italian indulgence.

LEADOPTIK Awarded Key Patents Across Three Continents
Strengthening Global IP Portfolio in Optical Imaging for Minimally Invasive Procedures SAN JOSE, Calif., June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LEADOPTIK Inc., a Silicon Valley-based medical imaging company, today announced it has been awarded key patents for its proprietary optical probe across three continents: North America, Europe, and Asia. LEADOPTIK designs and manufactures optical probes for minimally invasive procedures, where two critical factors are essential: high-resolution imaging and a miniaturized form factor. High-resolution imaging enables real-time visualization of tissue microstructure, empowering clinicians with the insight needed to make more informed decisions—whether collecting biopsy samples, resecting tumor margins, or delivering therapies to targeted sites. Equally important is miniaturization. Space is at a premium during minimally invasive procedures, and LEADOPTIK's probe is designed with an exceptionally small footprint to navigate tight anatomical pathways without compromising performance. The company's innovation is powered by cutting-edge metasurface technology—flat optical components created through the fusion of nanofabrication and advanced optical design. Unlike traditional optics, metasurfaces enable ultra-thin, high-performance imaging systems that are ideal for integration into medical devices. These three newly granted patents underscore LEADOPTIK's leadership in medical imaging: U.S. Patent (#US11953698B1): Covers a novel device-level metasurface design that significantly extends imaging depth without sacrificing resolution. The patent was granted with 100% of its original claims—a testament to the novelty of LEADOPTIK's approach. European and Japanese Patents (PCT065237 & PCT029301): Protect both the current probe assembly method and alternative configurations that support expanded clinical applications. "Building robust and scalable medical devices is non-negotiable," said Reza Khorasaninejad, CEO and Co-founder of LEADOPTIK. "Our team has not only invented new optical designs but also developed novel methods of integrating them with semiconductor-grade manufacturing processes. These patents reflect our commitment to making next-generation imaging accessible, reliable, and globally protected." "Our intellectual property is the foundation of LEADOPTIK's competitive edge," said Dr. Jiang You, Co-Founder and VP of Medical Imaging. "These patents not only protect our unique optical architecture but also validate the deep technical innovation required to miniaturize high-resolution imaging. It's a major milestone that strengthens our ability to scale globally and expand into new clinical applications." About LEADOPTIK LEADOPTIK is a Silicon Valley-based company pioneering AI-enhanced real-time optical imaging at the point of biopsy. By integrating high-resolution microstructural visualization with emerging analytics, the LIA system bridges the gap between diagnosis, and therapy, supporting more precise and informed decision-making in interventional pulmonology and beyond.
