Our Journey
On his first mission, The Emissary travelled to North East Italy, convinced that there was a vast improvement to be made to the Prosecco offering in the UK. From the bridges and narrow cobblestoned streets of Venice, he ventured north to the rolling hills and historic churches of Treviso, into the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains. Here, in the shadows of the ancient city of Asolo, he discovered what he was seeking: a fourth-generation family winery who made the most delicious Proseccos he had ever tasted. After a long al fresco lunch with Enrico and his wonderful team, an agreement was made to produce their wines for him....and so The Emissary was born.
Following the success of the Proseccos, which have received wide acclaim from sommeliers, wine critics and consumers alike, The Emissary’s journey continues into France to seek out the best Crémant in the land.
After sampling wines from all of the 8 Crémant-producing regions, he struck upon a 100 year old producer in Burgundy – one of the most famous wine-producing regions in the world.
​
They produce the most beautiful expression of the Crémant style – rich in complexity and character, these wines are truly made for celebrating
A Message From Our Founder
After weeks of travelling across Northern Italy, I knew I had found the perfect prosecco to bring back home to London and share with you all.
​
It’s my vision to continue searching for exceptional drinks across the world, and crafting new, distinctive variations of The Emissary.
I hope you enjoy my first discoveries.
