TV network HBO is launching a range of wines in a spin-off venture of cult US television show The Sopranos, a series about a mobster family in New Jersey.

Duggan's Distillers Products Corp will distribute Sopranos Wines, under a licensing agreement between HBO and the New York-based Vesuvio Import Company.

It has been reported that the wines will feature a variety of grapes, from Chinati DOCG, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir.

"We feel that these quality Italian wines are the perfect complement to all of our other carefully planned product extensions for 'The Sopranos' brand," James Costos, HBO spokesman, said in a statement.

This is not the series' first foray into wine. Actress Lorraine Bracco, who played Dr Jennifer Melfi in the series, launched Bracco Wines in 2006.
