Saint Enzo Wins Platinum at Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition

Report
 Luxury Lambrusco Newcomer Earns Two Top Distinctions from Esteemed Judging Panel.
 SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Saint Enzo, the modern luxury Lambrusco redefining the ritual of brunch, is proud to announce that its debut release, Saint Enzo L’Originale Lambrusco™, has earned the highest honors at the 2025 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.The brand’s 2024 vintage was awarded Platinum – 96 points and took home two of the competition’s most prestigious titles: Wine of the Year (Import), and Best of Show Sparkling Wine.

Crafted in Castelvetro di Modena, Italy from 100% Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC, and conceived in California by founders Armon and Myisha Moore, Saint Enzo is more than a wine—it is a cultural statement. Crafted from organic grapes grown in clay-rich soils among cherry orchards, the Lambrusco is bold, bone-dry, and twice-fermented,balancing depth with elegance and designed for life’s golden hours of laughter, connection, and style.

“We created Saint Enzo to transform brunch into a ritual of celebration and connection,” says co-founder Armon Moore. “To have this vision recognized at the highest level by sommeliers is an honor that affirms both the craft and the culture we’re building.”

The Sommelier Challenge is judged exclusively by a panel of distinguished sommeliers whose collective expertise spans Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury resorts, world-class wine programs, and global hospitality groups. The judges’ bestowal of the Platinum Award is an especially rare and meaningful honor, reserved only for wines scoring between 94–100 points and recognized for “profound qualities.”

Saint Enzo has already resonated with consumers,  selling out online within hours of its release, and has garnered acclaim from critics, with Rich Cook of WineReviewOnline awarded 96 points for the inaugural vintage. The immediate popularity of the brand signals a cultural shift for consumers looking for wine designed not for the cellar, but for lifestyle moments that matter most. With a winemaking ethos deeply rooted in tradition and a modern California-minded design, Saint Enzo continues to redefine what sparkling red wine can be—elegant, effortless, and unforgettable.
