Fashion designer Roberto Cavalli has already released a vodka but now his family is in the wine business. Cavalli's son Tommaso is in charge of the family wine business which will release two new wine brands: Cavalli Collection and Cavalli Selection. The grapes are grown at the Cavalli family estate, Tenuta degli Dei, in the Chianti region of Tuscany. The wines will be blends of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Alicante Bouchet. The bottles will play into Cavalli's fashion designs with leopard-printed and RC-logo'd bottles. The first 5,000 bottles of Cavalli wine should hit the States early next year.
