We import and directly distribute wines from conscientious growers.
We seek out wines that authentically interpret the soils and tradition from which they are born. Relationship building is our strength, making Italian wine not just a commodity. We work with a select group of small businesses at both sides of the supply chain to offer quality, value, and humanity in an extremely competitive market.
Needless to say, it has been an unusual spin through Piedmont and Verona to visit and taste with our growers. While our conversations certainly spent some amount of time wrapping our heads around idiotic trade policy, we were above all reassured of the strength and resilience of our relationships and grower partnerships. Siamo in the stessa barca—we are in the same boat—and together we will see the other side of this insanity. Grazie ancora to @sarahmarshall.vino @lucillewineshop for enduring my idiosyncrasies that solidified over the course of seven years living in Italy. 😂❤️🫣

can’t believe it’s been five years. a te, @ferdinandozanusso @icliviwine 🥂🍾
Like many women, I too am wearing all black today. I am in mourning, disappointed, and pain that our country once again chose a rapist/felon/misogynist/racist to run our country. To the glass ceiling and those who can walk around as if everything is normal, we are not resigned. See you at the Women’s March on Inauguration Day. The fight continues.
Vendemmia 2024. 🍇
@icliviwine there’s an entire page devoted to your wines! grazie mille @barmezzana @ryanlotz #swoon 📸 @philipjpeterson
@nytimes how about including topics of moderation, exercise, diet and overall life balance in your discussion of whether that drink is worth it?? Clearly we all want to die healthy, but…
CERTAMENTE visiting a grower’s estate is preferable to attending a large trade show. Trust me, Vinitaly has many, many flaws. That said, seeing producers in one place is extremely efficient, especially for those of us who wear many hats: portfolio manager, salesperson, operations director, bookkeeper, marketing lead, and even delivery driver at times. TBH Vinitaly 2024 demonstrated once again not only that is still worthwhile to come to taste new releases, and pursue unfamiliar wineries, but to have the opportunity to see the people with whom you’ve been in dialogue for years—formally and informally—to further deepen those bonds. The possibility of seeing growers a few days in a row is really special: checking in on them, saying hey, and maybe talking about things other than wine. This is why the ritual of Vinitaly is meaningful—to me at least. Producers take the time to show up for Vinitaly, or adjacent organic fairs. Out of respect for their work and their time, we importers show up too. Maybe not every year, but every other—or whatever makes sense.
I hadn’t exercised my Verona muscle since 2019, when the @icliviwine stand looked quite different—helmed by not just Mario, but also by my dear Ferdinando. Customers and industry folk often ask me if I still work with i Clivi, and then proceed to comment on how much the winery has changed. Of course it has changed. There is no alternative, or, TINA, as Ferdi would say, quoting Margaret Thatcher. Mario is valiantly building upon the foundation that his father (my late partner) laid, and in his own way. How could it be any different? Tanto di cappello to him and Claudia for all that they have created, including @viniversowine. Grazie di cuore to everyone in the Giannoni orbit who came to Verona, and even to those who didn’t. Alla prossima ♥️.

Happy International Women’s Day! Giannoni Selections is a woman-run business and we are so grateful to work with so many incredible female winemakers, somms, wine buyers, and fellow business owners. Thank you to our supporters for recognizing the authenticity and work that we have been doing in Italian wine importing and distribution in Massachusetts for over seven years now. We believe strongly in the people we work with from our growers and retail/restaurant customers to our logistics partners. There are fierce women leading the way on all of those fronts. Cin cin! 🍾🥂💪 (This pic is when I tested out i Clivi’s then-new Carraro 🚜🤫) #internationalwomensday
