We are ambassadors of Italian Family Wine Estates with a passion for crafting quality wines independently.

"Unicità" means “Uniqueness” in Italian, it runs through the veins of each Italian family wine producer we collaborate with.

Francois Schoemans, the founder of Unicità, is in love with Italy and Italian wines for more than 20 years. He has worked as a Director/VP for large Corporations in both the on-trade and off-trade side of the business for years and has a strong knowledge of international markets across all Continents.

Now with this project, he would like to share his experience and help mid-sized Family businesses who want to accelerate their growth internationally on new markets and remain true to their independent nature.

We carefully selected the Families we work with based on:

• The unique quality of their wines - through a full control of the value chain from vineyard to bottle

• The common human values we share - starting from Integrity and Transparency in doing business

• Flexibility, ready to innovate and listen to market needs to best respond to them

• The Ambition to grow in a sustainable way - so as to preserve their Territory for future generations

Italy’s uniqueness is driven by regional diversity and family heritage, but teaming and bringing together different Producers with common goals is the only way forward to adress the competitive International market.

We support our partners on all business topics from the inside, starting from developing international commercial strategies to marketing, organic and external growth / corporate finance, sustainability certifications as well as generational transition plans.
