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) and chef Mario Batali (Food Television Network, Babbo, Esca, Otto, Lupa) help share the rich and diverse culinary heritage of Italy that Italian Wine Merchants exemplifies.
