The brokerage will help Messina Hof, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, to increase volume, and open avenues of distribution in Texas and key states outside of Texas.
Initial focus will be on Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma, with additional representation in New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Arkansas, Florida, Colorado and Missouri.
“We are so excited about what 2018 has in store for our company including our partnership with Multicarte,” said Paul Bonarrigo, CEO of Messina Hof Winery. He continued, “We are honored to be the first Texas winery represented by the brokerage, especially as Texas wine continues to grow both in public consciousness and in economic impact. We believe this will be very fruitful relationship.”
Known as the “First Family of Texas Wine” the Bonarrigo family has built a vast portfolio of over 90 Texas wines ranging from traditional single vineyard varietals, ports, and up-and-coming wines such as its internationally renowned Sagrantino.
Messina Hof’s vast portfolio is available at the Messina Hof’s Estate Vineyard and Winery in Bryan, Texas, Messina Hof Hill Country Winery in Fredericksburg and Messina Hof Grapevine Winery, as well as select retailers and wine clubs.
