Italian wine agent
Levi Wine
I am Ruta Levina, a B2B sales professional with more than 10 years' experience and a lover of good wine. I am originally from Latvia, born and have lived all my life in Riga, but everything flows and changes, and the "year of the pandemic" has changed the lives of millions of people around the world, including mine - I moved to live in Italy. I am grateful to fate for this change - the world of Italian wine has opened up to me. And what could be better than a combination of talent and passion? In my case, sales talent and passion for finding the best Italian wine met. I am a keen saleswoman of good wine.
My work is built on three main pillars:
Good wine - I represent only good wine, because I believe in what I sell, and my customers believe in me. How could I let them down?
Good people – you cannot enjoy good wine without good people and good relationships. Working in an international environment, every sale is above all about communicating in the language of the customer and understanding and respecting their cultural sensitivities.
Good deal – a good deal is always built on a mutual understanding of the parties and their interests. For me, as the liaison between a wine producer and his buyer, it is important to understand and to protect the interests of both parties; it is not an easy but always an interesting task - it is my job.

You are a winery in Italy
Working with me will bring a number of benefits to your business.
Your entry into the Eastern market - today, after the 'lockdown period', the search for new markets is more relevant than ever. I will be your guide for entering the huge market space of the Baltic States, Russia and the CIS.
Understanding the client's cultural background and fluency in the language is the key to successful cooperation built on mutual understanding. I speak and write Russian flawlessly and have extensive B2B sales experience with Russian clients, and Russian-speaking clients always appreciate partners who speak their language.
A reliable negotiating partner - how do you find an Italian wine buyer and convince them to buy from your winery? Representing your interests and leading the deal from the moment you find a potential customer until payment is received and the goods are shipped - that's my job.
Saving your time - when working with foreign clients, you can spend a lot of time negotiating and get no results. I will take care of the client search and negotiation, and you will save yourself a lot of time.
Presentation of your product - I will conduct a presentation and wine tasting for the client, both in person and online, according to your winery's standards; I will present all the necessary information in a language that the client understands, taking into account all the technical and enological parameters of the product and presenting the wine-growing area.
Wine marketing - while selling your product, I am also a representative of your wine house and represent your brand in the market. Once the wine enters a new market, I provide information support to the client, participate in marketing activities, including directly in your client's region, promote the brand and help sell the product in the market.

You are a wine importer
What benefits will I bring to your business?
Information - Italy's wine regions and zones, grape varieties and types of wine - how not to 'drown' in an abundance of information? I will help you to make the right choice, to find the wine your customers will love and support you in creating a successful range of Italian wines and spirits.
Search for the best value and quality - let me know your 'Best Value' criteria and I will find a wine producer that matches your request.
Communicating with the Italian side - finding a supplier, making contact and negotiating in an unfamiliar environment - is a troublesome task, and not always yielding optimum results. I will do this work for you.
Saving you time - I will take care of all the time costs and will deal with the task you have set for yourself.
Providing a ready-to-use solution - I will run the transaction from finding the supplier to making payment and shipping the goods to your warehouse.
Product presentation in your region - marketing and promotion are very important for a successful sale in the market. I will give a presentation on behalf of the wine house and a wine tasting for your customers directly in your city or online, as well as support you in carrying out brand promotion activities in your region.
A reliable partner who speaks your language - is your native language Russian or Latvian? Great! Contact me and I will become your Italian partner speaking your native language, after all, you will agree that there is nothing nicer than doing business in your own language. I will be your reliable partner for the Italian wine market.
