Business Summary:
Vino Fine Wine and Spirits is a boutique retail store located on E. 27th St. in Manhattan. Vino specializes in small-production wines and spirits with a particular emphasis on Italy. Vino was established in 2000 by Nicola Marzovilla, owner of the acclaimed Italian restaurant I Trulli.
Vino was designed by noted architect and Pratt professor Giuliano Fiorenzoli. His masterful use of color, texture and light add warmth and elegance to a loft-like, 1500 square-foot, ground-floor space. Many customers have remarked over the years that Vino is the most beautiful wine store in New York City.

Growth/Expansion:
Vino is a full-service wines-and-spirits retailer located on the busy block of 27th St. between Park Avenue South and Lexington Avenue. Vino shares the block with Danny Meyers’ Blue Smoke/Jazz Standard, BR Guest’s Primehouse, I Trulli and several other successful small businesses. The immediate area, which is serviced by the 6 train at 28th and Park, has boomed in recent years with the addition of The Gansevoort Park Hotel, several high-rise condominium buildings and the emergence of Madison Square Park as a destination for restaurants and recreation. A high concentration of Indian restaurants (many BYO) on Lexington Avenue between 26th and 29th streets also brings many people to the neighborhood. |
