| Welcome
to Wine Cellars International |
From its modest beginnings in 2001, when it first
began processing private orders, Wine Cellars
International has grown each year as word spread
regarding the outstanding Apulian (Puglia) wines it
was importing to Canada. We now represent five
wineries, each with a long history of vinting the
finest of primitivo, negroamaro and other indigenous
varietals found only in Puglia. Considering that
Puglia provides 10% of all the wines consumed in
Europe, and our founder’s intimate ties to this
region, we believe Wine Cellars International will
continue to provide the Canadian wine enthusiast an
ever widening diversity of offerings from this
centuries old wine producing region..

About Puglia, Italy |
"Already being hailed by journalists and travel
experts as “the new Chiantishire” (the old
 Chiantishire being tourist-infested Tuscany, you’ll
recall) Puglia also has fabulous food, baroque
towns, quiet beaches and quirky houses with conical
roofs. Its location in the very south of Italy means
that the year-round climate is agreeable and, best
of all, it’s quite difficult to get to." |
