C. Mondavi & Family today announced that the next generation of the Mondavi family is now officially more involved in the family's business, including the CK Mondavi and Family brand. As part of the announcement, C. Mondavi & Family revealed that members of the fourth generation, or "G4" as they are called, are now shareholders in the company. They also serve as official brand ambassadors and two members have been appointed to the board of directors. Fourth generation family members include Alycia Mondavi, Angelina Mondavi, Giovanna Mondavi, Lia Mondavi, Lucio Mondavi, and Riana Mondavi.
Each member of the "G4" brings their own approach and expertise to the business, creating a diverse background within the overall umbrella company of C. Mondavi & Family. Their daily contributions to the CK Mondavi and Family brand include serving as brand ambassadors and providing guidance on the direction of the winery that has remained family owned for almost seventy-five years.
"CK Mondavi and Family wines are a tradition that has been in our family for four generations," said "G4" family member, Riana Mondavi. "Passion has kept our family business going and I can say for all of us in this next generation, we are extremely humbled to carry on a wine legacy that was started by our great grandparents so long ago. We are also wholeheartedly committed to continuing the Mondavi family tradition for generations to come."
Their collective expertise is wide ranged and each G4 member has a natural interest and training in different parts of the business including business management, engineering, finance, marketing, sales, and winemaking. While third generation family members, Marc Mondavi and Peter Mondavi Jr., remain co-proprietors of the company, this next generation is now more involved in the direction of the business and they are being groomed for the future of the C. Mondavi & Family company, including the CK Mondavi and Family brand. CK Mondavi and Family is featuring the G4 in their upcoming merchandising campaigns as well as in their marketing messages and social media messages throughout 2018.
The Mondavi family has been in succession planning for a number of years, yet recently added members of this next generation to the company's board of directors (June 2017). At the same time the Mondavis created a family council, where third and fourth generation Mondavi family members meet on a regular basis to discuss planning and strategy for the company. The G4 were also recently appointed official brand ambassadors and are responsible for promoting the brand and representing their family as needed.
"With the passing of our father, Peter Mondavi, Sr., in 2016, my brother and I had the opportunity to re-visit the structure of our business," said Marc Mondavi, Co-Proprietor of C. Mondavi & Family. "We are thrilled that our children overwhelmingly support continuing this legacy and have decided to be more involved in the business."
