Botti Selections ← drinkbotti.com
Licensed Italian Wine Importer · Nashville, Tennessee

The import house behind the club.

Botti Selections brings small-parcel wines from family estates in Piedmont and beyond into the United States — bottles that would otherwise never leave the region where they were made.

The House

Most of Italy's best wine is made by families too small to export it. We built the bridge ourselves.

Botti Selections is the import arm of Botti, a private wine club in Nashville. The wines we bring over are found the slow way — in cellars, at kitchen tables, on repeat visits to the Langhe — and selected by one palate, not a portfolio committee.

We import in small parcels, shipped temperature-controlled from the winery door, because a wine handled carelessly in transit isn't the wine the family made. We are not a distributor with a catalog. Most of our imports are allocated to Botti members before they arrive; a limited number of parcels reach restaurants and retailers who share our conviction that the producer is the point.

What We Do

Three things, done deliberately.

i.

Direct Relationships

Every wine we import comes from an estate we know personally — found in cellars and at kitchen tables, over repeat visits, and earned the way trust is always earned: slowly.

ii.

Small-Parcel Import

Imported in quantities that respect how little of these wines exists. Temperature-controlled from cellar to warehouse, cleared and compliant under our own federal permit.

iii.

Producer Advocacy

We tell the story of every family whose wine we carry — the parcels, the farming, the choices in the cellar — because these wines deserve to arrive with their history intact.

The Estates

Family-owned. Estate-grown. Farmed by the generations who live on the land.

Our estates are small by any measure but the one that matters. Out of respect for the families and the allocations involved, we introduce them properly — to trade partners, in person or by request.
