About us
Our story, our philosophy, our approach to wine
Our Story
Wine Terroir was born of a passion for authentic wines: wines that tell the story of a place and a producer before they speak of a label.
Since 2014 we have carefully selected terroir wines from Europe's leading wine regions, offering HORECA professionals an exclusive portfolio that combines quality, authenticity and a direct relationship with the people who bring each wine to life in the vineyard.

Our Manifesto
We believe in Terroir. Not as a word on a label, but as a philosophy.
More than a place
Terroir is not just soil, climate and aspect. It is also people: the communities, traditions and cultures that tend a vineyard in a particular way, in a particular place. Without the history and culture of those who work it, that land would have nothing to say.
Tradition and respect
We are not interested in talking only about "natural" or "organic". With our producers we would rather talk about life on the land, and how they want to hand their vineyards on to their children. We talk about culture, respect and dialogue. Everything else – techniques, winemaking, choices in the cellar – follows on as a consequence.
Beyond wine, culture
When a bottle from our selection arrives in Italy, it is no longer just a foreign label: it becomes a vehicle for culture, respect and tradition.
Selection philosophy
From the Manifesto to practical criteria: this is what our selection actually looks for. Every wine in our portfolio is chosen according to rigorous criteria that place the land before the product: the concept of terroir, the quality of the production work and the sustainability of vineyard practices.
Terroir first
We select only wines that authentically express their place of origin – not labels designed to please everyone, but wines that speak of a specific place.
Direct relationships
We work closely with our producers, with no intermediaries: it is the only way to guarantee consistent quality and verified authenticity, vintage after vintage.
Sustainability
We give priority to growers who work with organic, biodynamic or otherwise sustainable practices: respect for terroir begins with the way it is farmed.
Our method
A structured four-stage process that guarantees quality, authenticity and lasting relationships with producers, from research in the field to the bottle on the table.
01
Research
An ongoing search for authentic producers, through trips and tastings on the ground.
02
Selection
Assessment of the wine's quality, the producer's philosophy and respect for terroir.
03
Partnership
Building direct, lasting relationships with the selected producers.
04
Distribution
Import and distribution dedicated to the HORECA trade, with specialist logistics.
The team
A team of passionate professionals with complementary expertise in wine, distribution and consultancy for the HORECA trade.
Dario Pizzuto
Advisor
He divides his life between IT and wine. A serial taster with WSET Level 3, he writes about wine with the same curiosity with which he drinks it. In love with French gems still unknown in Italy, he never stops hunting for the best value for money.
Davide Gilioli
Partner
He came to wine almost by chance, after years in finance: he moved to Milan in 2010 and within a few years became a sommelier, taster and AIS speaker. Since then he has championed native grape varieties and "lesser-known" wine regions.
Ambra Monasterolo
Operations manager
The link between wineries, warehouse and customers. She coordinates orders, shipments and deliveries so that every bottle arrives on time and in perfect condition. Precise and always on hand, she is the person to turn to when you need a quick, practical answer.
Alongside them, a team dedicated to sales and logistics has grown over the years, bringing our selection every day to restaurants, wine bars and wine shops across Italy.
