What Bottega does

Bottega S.p.A. is a privately held, family-owned Italian winery, cellar, and distillery formally established in 1977, headquartered in Bibano di Godega di Sant'Urbano (Treviso), with viticulture heritage traceable to the 17th-century ancestor Andrea Bottega in the Prosecco Superiore DOCG hills of Refrontolo. The company operates a vertically integrated production network comprising wineries in Bibano and Vittorio Veneto (Prosecco and Veneto still wines), Valgatara (Valpolicella/Amarone), Montalcino (Brunello di Montalcino), and Chianti (first vintage 2023), a Liquorificio in Brugnera for liqueurs and spirits, a logistics center in Fontanafredda, and an in-house Soffieria Alexander producing Murano-inspired blown glass bottles. The product portfolio spans Prosecco and sparkling wines (the proprietary metallic-bottle family: Gold, Rose Gold, White Gold, Star White, Stardust Black), still wines (Amarone, Brunello di Montalcino, Valpolicella, Chianti, Venezia DOC, Fragolino), grappas under the Bottega and Alexander brands, gin (Green Gin – The Wild), vodka, vermouth, bitter, single malt whisky aged in Amarone casks, cream liqueurs, Limoncello di Sorrento, the Lemon Spritz premix cocktail, and non-alcoholic alternatives. The portfolio has accumulated over 450 industry awards including MUNDUS VINI, IWSC, Decanter, James Suckling, and FAB Awards.

The business generates revenue primarily through one-time sales of branded wine and spirits via wholesalers, distributors, and retailers, with an additional royalty/licensing stream from the Bottega Prosecco Bar franchise. Distribution channels span duty-free shops in international airports (where Bottega Gold is the #1 Prosecco globally per IWSR 2022), B2B supply to HoReCa accounts, the company's bottegashop.it e-commerce storefront, retail distribution, and approximately 30 franchise-operated Prosecco Bar locations in major airports across Europe and the Middle East that together serve roughly 1.5 million customers annually. The customer base is segmented horizontally across Premium Gift and Special Occasion Consumers, Travel Retail Operators, HoReCa (Hotels, Restaurants, Cafes), and Retail Consumers. Operations reach 150+ countries, with reported revenue of €86 million for FY2022 (Borsa Italiana) and a forecast of €96 million for FY2024 (Messaggero Veneto). The company is led by Sandro Bottega, with no disclosed external institutional investors or parent company.
