Gallo Sues Frexeinet Over Prosecco Bottle

Frexienet's Bollicini bottle looks to o much like Gallo's La Marca bottle, complete with “sloping-shouldered green bottle;”” a silver foil cover on the cap and neck of the bottle;” “ a light blue neck label at the base of the neck;” and “a light blue square front with a silver ink-double-lined border around the edges of the label,” according to Gallo's complaint filed in U.S. District Court in White Plains, N.Y.

Defendants are Frexinet Mionetto USA Inc., a Frexeinet subsidiary; CL Direct Imports, which imports wine into the U.S. for Freixenent.
