Banfi Vintners
 PROFILE
Bringing in vino by the boatload has helped make Banfi Vintners the largest wine importer in the US. The vintner, a unit of Banfi Products Corp., distributes a number of well-known labels, including the top two US imports, Riunite (Italy) and Concha y Toro (Chile), along with Almaviva and Walnut Crest (Chile), Stonehaven (Australia), and TriVento (Argentina). It also makes acclaimed Italian vino at its 7,500-acre estate, Castello Banfi, in Tuscany and sparkling wine in the Piedmont region at its Vini Banfi Piemonte cellars. Founded in 1919 by John Mariani Sr. and run by his sons, John and Harry, the family-owned firm operates out of Villa Banfi, a 60-room mansion built by rayon magnate Sir Samuel Salvage in 1927.
