In 2023, Charleston native and serial entrepreneur Justin Wages, alongside co-founders David Kinloch and Andre Grundy, embarked on a journey to elevate the art of celebration. United by their deep Charleston roots and a passion for sparkling wine, they founded Don Luchi Prosecco, an inspired lifestyle and beverage brand dedicated to turning every moment into a refreshing, luxurious experience.
Justin Wages, the visionary behind Don Luchi, expertly directs the brand’s strategy and operations. David Kinloch, a legendary music producer and studio owner, drives sales and business development with his creative insights and industry acumen. Andre Grundy, an Industrial Engineer, ensures operational excellence, bringing precision and innovation to every bottle. The trio’s shared love for travel and their commitment to infusing global experiences into the Charleston market fuels their mission to bring the finer things in life within reach. In 2024, they twice journeyed to Italy to immerse themselves fully in the traditional craftsmanship behind Don Luchi’s exquisite Prosecco.
Since their June 2024 launch, Don Luchi Prosecco has taken the local and state beverage scene by storm, with over 2,500 bottles sold within their first three months. Their signature blend delivers an unparalleled tasting experience, combining the elegance of Italian winemaking with the vibrant spirit of Charleston.
