Bedford International - Importers of Fine Italian Wines since 1949

Bedford International is an exclusive importer to the United States of fine Italian wines. Our primary goals are:

Develop and promote our suppliers' image in the U.S.;
Exceed our customers' expectations by selecting a wide range of varietally correct, quality-driven products;
Create value by setting our pricing according to each wine's quality and cost.

We start by selecting our suppliers very carefully. The factors examined before choosing a winery are: integrity and reputation, location of vineyards, long-term growth potential, quality and consistency, marketing and management skills, consulting enologist, choice of packaging, type of equipment, pricing, ratings, and overall wine making philosophy.

We conduct our business primarily as a marketing organization: we service our distributors and their clients; we spend a great deal of time educating the trade about our products, their main characteristics, and their position in the marketplace. In fact, the positioning of each brand is the most relevant decision for us and we spend our resources, time, and money to successfully present our wines.

Bedford International conducts business in a professional, honest, and constructive manner: we communicate regularly with our suppliers and customers and we react to the constantly changing market trends without compromising our standards.
