NZ Importer of fine Italian Wines since 1989

Sapori D’Italia Import was born from the passion of Adriana Betioli and Marco Nordio. Founded in 1989 Sapori d’Italia is nowadays one of the leading independent Italian Fine Wine Merchants in New Zealand, with a consistently growing clientele.

Sapori’s mission is to offer – to both private and professional customers – access to the finest wines at competitive prices. All of the wines are purchased directly from the producers and we are proud of the close relationship of trust we have with many of them. This privilege allows us to offer vintages, formats and wines that are often difficult to find or source.

Our very own Marco Nordio has passed the rigorous exam organized by Vinitaly International Academy, which awards the certification which has become the gold standard of Italian wine education and expertise, Marco is the only one in NZ.

“Times are changing for us, Marco will be spending more time in Italy, meaning Marco will be well positioned to source even more delicious wines from Italy and other look at opportunities. On that note, we are happy to introduce our new General Manager, Vicky Roberts who brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to our growing business.

“Vicky Roberts is one of Auckland’s most experienced and well-recognised hospitality identities. Having worked in the world of wine distribution for most of her life, there’s nothing Vicky doesn’t know about sourcing incredible products for excellent prices. Vicky has worked in almost every aspect of hospitality and liquor retail, so she’s acutely aware of the unique challenges those businesses face and the specific buying needs they have. She is also a highly skilled wine taster with a professional palate and I have worked with her for many years”  Yvonne Lorkin, Wine Critic/Writer

2024 is a year of exciting changes to Sapori!!
