Sambula Imports, founded in 2022 by Zacarias Sambula Jr. was established after spending three years stationed in Chile as part of a military foreign exchange program with the Chilean Marine Corps.
During his time in Chile, Zacarias had the opportunity to experience the country's vibrant culture and discover some unique wines that he believed had great potential to appeal to U.S. markets. Inspired by his experiences and fueled by his entrepreneurial spirit, he decided to create Sambula Imports as a way to bring fine wines to a U.S. audience. With his firsthand knowledge of the Chilean market and the connections he made during his military service, Zacarias Sambula Jr. was able to establish partnerships with local producers and manufacturers. These collaborations allowed Sambula Imports to source high-quality and unique wines directly from Chile. Since its inception, Sambula Imports has been dedicated to promoting and distributing Chilean wines in the U.S. market. Whether it's wines from the lush vineyards of Casablanca, Maipo, or Maule Valley, our efforts have allowed people from various parts of the U.S. to experience the beauty and flavors of Chilean culture without having to physically travel there. With each product they introduce to the market, Sambula Imports continues to promote and celebrate the rich heritage and diversity of Chile.

About our Labels and Family Legacy

The Emilia Label: A Journey of Growth
The Emilia label holds a deeply personal significance-it is named after our youngest child, Emilia. This label is more than a brand; it's a living tribute to her spirit, her growth, and the joy she brings into our lives.
A Reflection of Infancy: The current design captures the essence of Emilia's early years-simple, playful, and full of wonder. Its soft colors and whimsical elements mirror the innocence and curiosity of childhood.
A Label That Evolves: Just as Emilia grows, so too will this label. It is designed to evolve over time, reflecting the stages of her life-from the carefree days of youth to the complexity and depth of maturity. Each new vintage will be a visual and emotional chapter in her story.
A Personal Legacy: This wine is not just crafted with care-it's infused with love. The Emilia label invites you to share in a journey that is both intimate and universal: the beauty of watching someone grow, change, and blossom.
Celebrating Connection: We hope that every bottle of Emilia resonates with those who cherish family, growth, and the stories that shape us. It's a celebration of life's unfolding narrative-one sip at a time.
