About Us

The Idea and Humble Beginnings

A Trip to Italy …

… where Michael Votto (President, CEO, and Co-Founder) and his wife were traveling while visiting family and friends led them to a small winery in Tuscany. It was there that Mike asked the winemaker (Alberto) where we could find his wine in the USA and he said “they couldn’t”. That was the “aha” moment. Mike came home, told his brother, brother-in-law, and cousins and the Votto Vines vision was born.

The Votto Family had been working on the concept for more than two years and then everything finally came together. Initially, the wine importing business was merely a family passion project, with each of the founders keeping their day jobs.

By 2021, Votto Vines sold several million bottles of wine from nearly one hundred wineries, evolving from humble beginnings to becoming one of the top privately owned wine importers in the US in less than 15 years.
