Standing Out in the Wine Market

Moderato distinguishes itself in a competitive market among numerous players by focusing on excellence in dealcoholized French wine. “We have a story and brand that are both unique and universal,” says the team. Their dedication to producing high-quality wines from fine French terroirs and a strong emphasis on brand identity and communication set them apart.

Future Goals and Expansion Plans for 2024

Moderato has ambitious plans for 2024, including a turnover target of €2 million and expansion into Canadian and US markets. They also plan to launch a limited edition cuvée and continue their growth efforts. Fabien shares, “Our participation in SIAL Startup Village is a step towards increased visibility and traction from the Food & Beverage sectors across Europe and the world.” With clear goals and a robust strategy, Moderato is poised for an exciting year ahead.
