About South Italy Imports:
South Italy Imports, founded in 2001, was originally conceived as a supplier of Southern Italian products, specifically for the restaurant industry. Though its original focus was on ingredients like tomatoes, pizza sauces, artisanal pastas and extra virgin olive oil, the company expanded in 2005 and began importing wines from their first vineyard, Cantore di Castelforte. In 2009, Bill Binczak, the company’s president, created a new business model that focused on introducing Americans to indigenous wines from all 20 regions of Italy. Today, the company partners with 21 vineyards in 14 regions across Italy, and is committed to developing their wine portfolio in order to showcase Italy’s numerous and diverse varietals.
