EMPSON (USA), INC.
ALEXANDRIA, VA

We can help you source wine from some of the best estates in Italy, New Zealand & Chile from some of the worlds best producers of fine wines. Arriving in Milan in 1970, it became apparent to the couple that few, if any, of the wonderful wines they were discovering ever reached the merchants abroad. Discerning palates the world over did not realize they were being denied most of the truly fine Italian wines, the majority of which did not even get beyond the border. The Italians were insular, content with a market sufficient to eventually absorb their production. It was the time of the quality revolution, with producers embracing new technological advances. In the same pioneering vein, Neil Empson Selections was formed and many small scale producers persuaded to part with some of their vinous gems. In so doing, Neil and Maria established a rapport with their growers of mutual esteem and trust, which with time, blossomed into friendship. For more than 30 years the Empsons, have set the Italian industry on the road to international fame and are still at the forefront of developments, adding exciting new producers to an unparalleled portfolio as they are uncovered. Neil is an Honorary Member of the League of Chianti and a Knight of the Order of Truffles and Wines of Alba. He travels the globe spreading the message and unearthing new treasures. Maria, artist turned business woman, oversees packaging, marketing and promotions. A number of Empson wines feature labels of her design.
