About

DP – SELEZIONI

D&P USA is proud to partner with a collection of boutique wineries from Italy’s most notable regions, concentrating on small, artisanal and family owned estates. Our producers are all focused around indigenous grape varietals and natural winemaking techniques, crafting wines of tremendous character and integrity. Most are considered as torch bearers with a few who are young rising stars in their designated regions. Unlike an agency which incurs additional costs to both importers and producers, we work as an extension of the winery offering Direct Import pricing only. D&P USA provides training and additional marketing & sales support in each market to build brand awareness, increase sales and build relationships with each importer. Splitting our expert team between Italy and the United States we work to translate the culture of each estate to the american market, bringing to life the people, the land and story of each wine.
