Luciano Meirelles and ACE Prime have announced a partnership with Mas Igneus, one of the finest wine producers in Spain’s, to bring to market Luciano The Dreamer Wine, made to pair with the eponymous cigar. Along with this announcement is the news of the cigar being made in three more sizes.
This new project along with the new sizes are scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2022. Luciano The Dreamer was originally a limited edition cigar, turned regular production this year. The wine uses grapes from the Priorat region of Spain. The idea came about from years of friendship between Meirelles and Jerome Valcke and WSET Ornella Valcke. Luciano is also a Sommelier.
We found there are so many parallels between the intricacies of cigar and wine production, it’s about time we work together to create an unexpected, new, and delightful synergy of flavors.
Jerome Valcke
Priorat is one of only two wine regions in Spain to qualify as DOCa, the highest qualification level for a wine region according to Spanish wine regulations. The region is famous for producing powerful wines and having vineyards older than a hundred years. Mas Igneus was recently praised in Forbes Magazine for its new and old wines, as well as its promising future.
“Winemakers have been on an eternal search for the elusive ultra-pairing – where two separate elements create a new experience, transcending their individual flavors. If you love The Dreamer Cigar, you will be delighted by this phenomenal Mas Igneus wine. Working with Jérôme and Ornella was simply fantastic.”
