Our Story
About Us
Importing and building premium wine brands for the American market — connecting Italy, France, Argentina, and California's finest family estates with discerning U.S. distributors, retailers, and restaurants.
For Those Who Believe
Wine Is More Than a Product
Scalia Wine Merchants is a U.S. importer and brand builder dedicated to elevating premium, story-driven wines in the American market. Based on Long Island, we partner with small family estates and boutique producers from Italy, France, Argentina, and California — wineries that craft wines of authenticity, character, and a deep connection to their territory.
Our approach is intentional and selective. We focus on meaningful, long-term partnerships with distributors, retailers, and restaurant groups who share our values: integrity, collaboration, and a common vision of excellence. For us, great wine is not a commodity — it is the result of passion.
As a bridge between producers and trade partners, we offer a premium, hand-picked wine selection curated to stand apart through elegance and refinement. We provide strategic brand-building support, thoughtful market guidance, and the operational expertise necessary to introduce and sustain a wine's presence in the United States.
Every winery we represent receives a tailored approach designed to honor its identity while maximizing its reach and relevance.
“Great wine is not a commodity — it is the result of passion.”
