The word CANTINIERE indicates the person who works in the cellar with the enologist making wine. Maurizio Farro, the founder of
CANTINIERE, chose this word for the company. Maurizio was born in Naples, Italy and he comes from a  family of wine producers.
Both of his grandfathers were producers of wine and so  is his father. Today the winery in Naples is still in business and is run
by Maurizio’s cousin, Michele. Since Maurizio was little he helped his father with  the wine business. At the age of ten, Maurizio was on
the road with his father  and his brothers delivering wine in the beautiful city of Naples. People in  Naples used to call them
CANTINIERI, plural for CANTINIERE.  The word CANTINIERE is not only the clear description of the business  but also a word that
indicates the family  business.  The main goal of CANTINIERE is to bring the best producers of Italian  wines to the United States.
CANTINIERE proudly distributes in the markets of Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC.
