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.
All sizes are 750ml unless otherwise noted.
