Piemonte
A cultural importer and distributor designing
how discovery happens in wine.
Estate Wineries
We work with human-scale Italian makers — families who live in their vineyards and craft wines that invite discovery.
They are the foundation of The Independent Alternative — a collection defined not by checkmarks, but by meaning.

Philosophy
At Gladiator Wine Distribution, we believe the future of wine lies in discovery — not scale.
We practice Wine Discovery Design: the intentional craft of curating, presenting, and communicating wine in ways that evoke emotion and exploration in every glass.
Each bottle we represent is chosen for its ability to create what founder Tony Margiotta calls The Resonance Effect — that moment when a wine, in all its dimensions, aligns with the person.
For restaurants, shops, and their guests, The Resonance Effect changes everything. It deepens connection, inspires curiosity, and transforms a simple glass into an experience that brings people back.
This is our philosophy: fewer bottles, deeper meaning, and discovery that endures.
