The New Wine Renaissance In Italy: Free Virtual Wine Class

Tony Margiotta roams the less-travelled backroads of the Italian countryside in search of quality craft wines. He’s the President of Gladiator Wine Distribution, an importer of small artisanal wines handcrafted in Italy. He’s the author of “Hidden Gems of Italy,” winner of “The Best European Wine Book In The US” at the Gourmand International Book Competition.

His wines have won numerous awards including double gold and silver medals at the New York International Wine Competition. His family comes from a small village called Montaquila in Southern Italy. And Mr. Margiotta has been traveling to Italy for 20 years immersing himself in Italian food, wine, and culture.
