Founded by Alberto De Simoni in Lucerne in 1917, the company is now managed by the fourth generation of the family. Our main area of specialization has always been wine imports with a focus on those regions in Italy that are naturally suited to viticulture, where we have set up a direct line with local producers. Completing the line are Italian specialty products including charcuterie, fresh and aged cheeses, pickled vegetables in oil and vinegar, pasta, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and sweets. 

Our business is aimed at satisfying both categories. Our customers include not only wholesalers, but also famous hotels, renowned restaurants, many pizzerias, and a growing number of Italian specialty food stores.

Italian products are a source of great interest among our clientele. Today, Italy is not only wine, pasta, tomato sauce and olive oil. There is in fact a much more extensive range of delicacies that have achieved success, from Piedmont truffles to Calabrian ‘nduja. Over the last two years, we have seen in particular a greater interest in quality, not only by large-scale customers but also by private ones, who forced to stay home, suddenly became amateur master chefs. In this scope, the Italian offering, when compared to local products, stands out for its incredible variety that manages to satisfy every palate. 

The proximity of Switzerland to Italy helps us have a vast and constantly changing assortment of products, and for this reason, it’s difficult to name something that might be missing in our market. 

It is an extremely important topic for our target of reference, which is interested in being kept informed not only about the characteristics of the products imported, but also about how they are made. In general, the producers with whom we collaborate are especially attentive to themes like respect for the environment and sustainability. 

In our opinion it is projected towards maximum quality, certifications, and eco-friendly policies. 

It is an event of excellences where it is possible to find a high level of diversification in the selection of stands and we admit that backing it is an impeccable organization: this year, we are happy to be returning for the fourth time and are sure we’ll discover original products. 

We usually allow the producers we collaborate with help guide us in such choices, so we can taste local specialties together and use it as an opportunity to also try something new.
