Gusto started when we realised through a myriad of journeys and experiences that we wanted to share our love for wine in a meaningful way. Gusto means passion in English, taste in Italian, and simply ‘to like’ in Espanol. “Share your Gusto” is the message of our pursuits as we endeavour to find beautiful wines and experiences and bring them close to home, demystifying it along the way while holding on to its romance.

Gusto’s sourcing philosophy of partnering with like-minded family-owned vineyards has been key to it bringing a power-packed list of historic wine producers to the Indian consumer. The portfolio represents wine from Bordeaux, Rhone Valley, Tuscany Piedmont, Rioja and Portugal. The wines have been amply recognized internationally by reputed publications as well as home at the India Wine Awards where it swept multiple awards making Gusto the highest award-winning wine importer, 3 years in a row.

The Gusto portfolio includes the renowned Italian brand Sensi, Spain’s largest Gran Reserva Rioja makers Faustino, Bordeaux’s legendary wine producer Andre Lurton, Portugal’s oldest family of winemakers Jose Maria de Fonseca, and the highly sought-after and awarded Paul Jaboulet from the Rhone Valley.

She founded the company in 2009 and has consistently grown its reputation and sales with her stellar team of passionate professionals across the country.
