ABOUT ITALIAN WINE MERCHANTS
At Italian Wine Merchants, wine lovers find both well-known
names and some of Italy's great secrets. Principal partner
Sergio Esposito directs the efforts to supply only the
best of the best at any price point by traveling to Italy
frequently in search of producers who are passionate about
their wines. "I don't carry everything - I only purchase
the best quality wines at the best price points. So if
we have only one Gavi di Gavi, that is because it is the
best one on the market."
Sergio's partners Joe Bastianich (Babbo, Esca, Otto, Lupa)
