Interview of Mr. Vito Cifarelli – CEO & Founder

Question 1: Do you already export to JAPAN ? If yes, where ? If no, what type of importers & distributors are you looking for in JAPAN ?

No, I am looking for importers for wine and distillates.

Question 2: What is the most unique and qualitative part of your products, different from competitors ?

Our products are closely linked to the territory, tell the story and describe the culture of Matera. The mixing of the “pink gin” with “white bitter” and “vèmut” creates the most requested cocktail in Italy, the Negroni … indeed the Matègroni!

Question 3: When did you start to export your brand worldwide, and what is your development plan for the next years ?

We are a young company, we produce our wines and distilled in a traditional way and we want them to make them known throughout the world.
