Veneto
Bottega
The Bottega family have been growing vines in the hills of the Veneto since 1635, when Andrea Bottega tended vineyards near Refrontolo, in the heart of Prosecco country. In 1977 Aldo Bottega founded the family distillery, and today his son Sandro leads the company from a beautifully restored 17th-century farmhouse in Bibano di Godega, just 50 km from Venice.
Bottega is now enjoyed in more than 160 countries, but it is still very much a family business – with a passion for quality and a flair for Italian style.
Prosecco
Bottega Il Vino dei Poeti Prosecco
"The Wine of the Poets". Fresh and elegant, with green apple, pear and white flowers and a fine, lively bead. One of the best Proseccos we've tasted.

Piemonte
Terre del Barolo
Founded in 1958 in Castiglione Falletto, in the very heart of the Barolo zone, Terre del Barolo is a cooperative owned by more than 300 small family growers. Together they farm vineyards across the famous villages of the Langhe.
Their grapes come together in a state-of-the-art winery where tradition meets modern precision – producing authentic Barolo, Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto made with real care.
The range we import
Vinum Vita Est – "wine is life"
Terre del Barolo's signature range, chosen because it offers exceptional quality and outstanding value for money. These wines show the true character of Piemonte's great grapes, without the price tag often attached to the region's big names.

Tuscany
Badia di Morrona
Set in the rolling hills of Terricciola, near Pisa, Badia di Morrona is built around an ancient Benedictine abbey dating back almost a thousand years – later the summer residence of the Bishops of Volterra.
Since 1939 the estate has been owned by the Gaslini Alberti family, now into their third and fourth generations caring for its vineyards and olive groves. Their focus is Sangiovese, the great grape of Tuscany.

Abruzzo
Cantina Tollo
Cantina Tollo was founded in 1960 by a group of growers in Tollo, in the province of Chieti, who chose to stay and work their land rather than emigrate. Today this collective of family growers is one of Abruzzo's leading wineries, named Best Cooperative in Italy seven years running.
