Connecting Italian and European wine excellence with the world's most demanding buyers.
We do not promise introductions. We deliver entry as buyers, importers and market architects in UAE, USA, UK and Northern Europe.
RaisingStar is a market entry partner specialising in opening international markets for Italian and European wine and spirits producers.
We operate at the intersection of commercial strategy and on-the-ground execution, not as agents, but as genuine buyers and distribution architects in markets where relationships and cultural intelligence determine outcomes.
"The best Italian wines are already known in Milan and Rome. The real opportunity is for those ready to be known in Dubai, New York and Stockholm."
Direct purchasing for curated portfolios targeting UAE, Saudi Arabia and the US market.
Selective importation for defined market channels where we control the full commercial path.
We build and manage local commercial structures, from compliance setup to sales pipeline activation.
Long-term positioning partner for producers ready to treat export as investment, not transaction.
Every decision is led by an operating CEO with direct presence in target markets, not a remote consultant.
UAE, USA, UK and Northern Europe. Markets we know structurally, not speculatively.
We represent a limited number of producers. Your product receives full commercial attention.
Import licenses, regulatory compliance and local entity setup handled before commercial exposure.
We build market presence over time. Your brand equity is our equity.
We begin with a structured market assessment. If your product fits the target market, we move fast: compliance setup, channel identification, buyer meetings and first orders typically within 90 days of engagement start.
We work with a limited number of producers at any given time. If you believe there is a fit, reach out directly. We review every inquiry personally.
"We do not work with every producer who approaches us. We work with those whose product, ambition and readiness align with what our markets actually demand."
