The "alileo vino e snak bar" launches on November 18, 2023 serving Alileo wines and authentic Italian bites
BURLINGTON, Mass., Nov. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Alileo, a Boston-based Sicilian boxed natural wine brand, and The Burlington Mall announced today the launch of "alileo vino e snak bar", bringing a Sicilian wine and food experience to Common Craft in The Burlington Mall this winter. Off the heels of its first incredibly successful summer pop-up in Boston, the second "alileo vino e snak bar" will feature all of Alileo's natural wine varietals, which are made on the West coast of Sicily, as well as its limited edition sparkling wines, the 2022 Sparkling Vino Bianco Metodo Ancestrale and 2022 Sparkling Vino Rosato Metodo Ancestrale. Additionally, the pop-up will offer a curated Sicilian bespoke menu of Farmstead Burrata, (un)Common Charcuterie & Cheese and Tinned Fish from Common Craft, as well as gelato from Nancy's Fancy, a small batch gelato and sorbetto brand made by two-time James Beard Award winning chef Nancy Silverton.
"Alileo is a family endeavor that we started to pay homage to our family's Sicilian roots. In partnership with my cousin in Sicily, we've created fantastic wines that are meant to be shared when gathering with friends and family," said Antonio Bertone, co-founder of Alileo. "As a newer brand, we had a fantastic opportunity to connect directly with customers during our Boston pop-up this summer so we're thrilled to replicate this Sicilian food and wine experience in The Burlington Mall, especially as people gather with friends and family to celebrate during the holiday season."
"As the craft beverage industry becomes increasingly popular, independent producers struggle to compete with the big corporate brands for notoriety and shelf space. Common Craft has built a platform for craft producers to highlight their brand and gain more exposure outside of their main production facility or tasting room, which is why we're thrilled to have Alileo be part of the experience," said Larry Leibowitz, Owner of Common Craft. "Common Craft shines a spotlight on brands in a meaningful and tangible way. The goal is to help the producers inside Common Craft continue to grow and succeed. I'm so excited to highlight these fantastic producers, such as Alileo, and see what the future brings for all of us."
Located at 75 Middlesex Turnpike, Burlington, MA, the pop-up will be at Common Craft, a unique collection of Speakeasy, Wine Bar, Tap Rooms and Scratch Kitchen. It will feature the Alileo Ape Wine and Food Truck and evoke the spirit of Sicily. It will be open seven days a week beginning November 18, 11:30am-10pm Sundays through Wednesdays and 11:30am-11pm Thursdays through Saturdays. The "alileo vino e snak bar" is first-come, first-serve. Reservations are not available.
Alileo will serve its four wine varietals: Zibibbo Macerato, Young Grillo, Syrah, Rosato Bronzato, and its limited edition 2022 Sparkling Ancestrale. Throughout the winter, Alileo will host a variety of events at the pop-up, such as a Winter Market. Visitors can also visit Common Craft's "Bottle Shop" to purchase Alileo wines and merchandise in order to take some of their experience back home with them. More events will be announced throughout the winter.
