ABOUT

Providing access to a world of exceptional beverages

Founded in 2012 by Thomas DiBacco, DiBacco Importing & Distributing continually aspires to be a premier wine, spirits, and beer distribution partner to our suppliers, vendors, and customers. Our company began on the beautiful beaches of the Florida Panhandle and has expanded to a second location in southwest Florida.

We provide products to restaurants, liquor stores, wine bars, hotels, country clubs, yacht clubs, and more. Our team is proud to serve customers in North Florida from Pensacola to Tallahassee and South Florida from Tampa to Naples on the west coast and from Miami to Jupiter on the east coast. Many of our products are exclusive to us.

Built on a cornerstone of hard work, great service, and unwavering integrity, DiBacco’s cohesive culture allows us to exceed our suppliers' expectations. We take a progressive approach to the industry and our market by offering products of quality and value that meet the demands of our vendors and customers.

Our Inspiration

The DiBacco family has always had a passion for great food and wine. DiBacco Importing & Distributing is dedicated to our founder’s father, Lou DiBacco, who's family migrated to America from Pratola Peligna in the Abruzzo region of Italy. His legacy and dedication to family lives on through our importing and distribution company, particularly the DiBacco Wines line, produced from vineyards in Italy’s Peligna Valley.

In 2010, the DiBacco family discovered extended family members in Italy, who operated vineyards and a winery in Abruzzo. Using our ambition and knowledge to address the need for more unique and varied wines in the U.S., we obtained the necessary licensing to begin importing the wines and made our dream a reality.

After a couple of years, we began adding additional brands to our portfolio from international and domestic wine suppliers. To meet the growing demand for hand-crafted beverages, we also began distributing spirits and beer.

We look forward to growing our product line and being a go-to source for wine, spirits, and beer distribution in Florida.
