GLOUCESTER, Mass., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Massachusetts-based Alileo, a sustainable Sicilian boxed wine brand, is proud to announce that it has been nominated by USA TODAY editors in the Best Boxed Wine Category for USA TODAY 10BEST Readers' Choice Awards, the publications flagship awards program.

To be recognized by editors at USA TODAY is the icing on the cake," said Antonio Bertone, co-founder of Alileo. "We're a small family-founded brand building from the ground up so this is a remarkable moment in our journey. Huge thank you to anyone that votes!"
