Cognato – meaning “closely related to”
In 2018, cousins David Sommestad and Adam Malmnäs envisioned creating an elegant, delicious alcohol-free wine that would complement a wide range of foods. As wine enthusiasts and parents, they sought an alternative to alcohol that wasn’t overly sweet or lacking quality.
“We aimed to produce an alcohol-free wine that we, as wine enthusiasts, would be delighted to savor alongside a fine meal. Both David and I are parents to young children, and we often found ourselves driving to various activities on weekends, making it impossible to enjoy a glass of wine during lunch or dinner. Therefore, we needed a suitable alternative.”
