Taste the Wines of Italy with Leonardo LoCascio, President & CEO of Winebow!
Wednesday, May 14, 2 pm - 4 pm
Leonardo LoCascio
Named one of the most influential wine personalities of the last 20 years by Robert M. Parker, Jr. in 1998, Leonardo LoCascio is America’s foremost authority on Italian wines. As president and CEO of Winebow, Inc., America’s leading importer of premium Italian wines and a major distributor of wines and spirits from around the world, Mr. LoCascio’s masterful knowledge of the wines of Italy is unsurpassed.
Mr. LoCascio makes frequent trips to Italy throughout the year, scouring the countryside for undiscovered treasures. His meticulous selection process is geared to finding wines that combine high quality and good value. The result is dozens of wines turned down for every one selected. The process tends to favor small to mid-sized wineries, often independent and family-owned.
Today, Winebow’s Leonardo LoCascio Selections with its 60 prized Italian producers is widely considered the most impressive Italian portfolio of any importer in the U.S. Indeed, the Leonardo LoCascio Selections logo on a label has become the de facto seal of approval for Italian wine enthusiasts.
