Wine Imports

From Our Founder

My uncle grew grapes on his plots along the Bergstrasse (Mountain Road) in south-west Germany.  Having lived in Italy my entire adolescence, we would visit him and the rest of the family often.  I have fond memories as a child riding alongside him on the Bulldog (tractor) as we would venture up the steep hills early in the morning.  It was hard work, but I loved being up there with the family to help with pruning, harvesting or anything else that was needed.

I also learned to enjoy everything living in Europe provided – good people, history, culture, sports, food and, of course, Beer, Wine and Spirits.

It was always a dream of mine to share those experiences with others.

Our goal at Tori Verdi (Green Bulls) is to partner with companies that produce quality beer, wine and spirits and have a similar vision to ours.  We want to find and share common and uncommon beverages from around the world that are of quality, unique and produced with nature in mind.  Although we seek out standards such as chardonnay or pinot, we prefer to find those gems that are not currently mass marketed and that are produced in a more artisanal manner.  We don’t just want to be the next people that are selling a pinot grigio. Our artisan winemakers have been carefully vetted.

We also firmly believe that the best wine anybody can drink is the wine they enjoy.  Everybody’s palate is different.  If you like sweeter or drier wines, don’t let anyone tell you which is better.  Find the wine you like and enjoy it.  That is another reason we want to bring unique flavors to people.  You may not like wine because you haven’t found the one you enjoy, and everyone is peddling the same thing.
