Our Story
Wine has always been more than a drink — it is history in a glass, a living record of place, people, and tradition.
We founded Nativino™ with a simple but radical idea: to bring the world’s native and forgotten grapes into the spotlight. While most American shelves are dominated by a handful of familiar varietals (e.g., Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir), thousands of unique grapes are grown across Europe and beyond. Wines made with these grapes express their unique tastes, characters, cultural histories, and traditions.
Nativino bring these forgotten wines, and their stories, to the American consumer.
Our Mission
We exist to make the wine world in the United States more diverse, approachable, and meaningful. By working directly with small, artisanal producers, we import and share wines that would otherwise never leave their regions of origin. Every Nativino™ bottle represents craftsmanship, authenticity, and discovery.
The Nativino™ Difference
Native Grapes – We specialize in wines from indigenous grapes that are rarely, if ever, seen in the United States.
Direct Partnerships – We collaborate with artisanal wineries who embody generations of knowledge and vineyard care. By deeply exploring the wine regions of Europe and beyond, we find the best artisanal producers of each native grape.
Educational Labels – Our informational labels are co-branded, color coded and digitally connected to online learning tools, empowering everyone to explore the vast and varied world of native grape wines with total confidence.
Transparency – The grape, where the wine was made, who made it, how it was made, what it tastes like — we share it all, so our buyers know exactly what to expect.
The Nativino™ Experience
Human nature drives us toward novelty and discovery. And yet, in the wonderfully diverse world of wine, it is quite difficult to explore the wine landscape, with consumers generally relegated to drinking only the standard commercial varietals.
We believe that the modern American drinker craves a deeper connection to the wines that they drink. They want to drink unique and novel wine and to understand what makes it special, where it comes from, and what it represents.
Nativino™ is here to guide the consumer through the world of native grape wines — where the wild diversity of wine flavors and stories live.
