Zosimo Ratings Group is dedicated to independent international evaluation within the Food & Wine sector.
Its core division, Zosimo Wine Critic, has been active since 1996 in publishing and international wine guides and, since 2011, has focused on the independent evaluation of wines from the world’s leading producing countries.
Italy, France, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Romania, Moldova, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Armenia and Georgia represent the main countries where wines are selected and reviewed.
An independent third-party rating allows importers and distributors to rely on a single, rigorous and trustworthy partner when making strategic choices. At the same time, it helps consumers easily identify high-quality products and provides restaurateurs and wine retailers with valuable support for their points of sale.
Continuous education through the Zosimo Academy brings knowledge, culture and expertise into every collaboration, building sales networks made up of professionals who are constantly updated on the evolution of the wine world.
With a presence in 50 countries and strong international recognition, the group stands out as a unique reference point for evaluation, education, editorial relations, product enhancement and promotion.
The Group’s CEO is Carmelo Sgandurra, wine critic, industry writer, educator and global wine expert. Through his travels and more than thirty years of experience, he has played a key role in shaping and driving the growth of Zosimo Ratings Group.
Zosimo Wine Critic is published in both digital and print formats in 9 languages and reaches 34 countries, with annual guide editions as well as special publications dedicated to indigenous grape varieties and specific wine regions.
The group consists of 72 direct collaborators and provides support to over 5,500 importers and distributors, ensuring widespread coverage of every request and continuously developing new markets where passion for wine thrives.
For many, our motto is more than a slogan—it is a way of life:
“When Wine Calls… We Will Be There.”
