Bottega started by Andrea in 1635 when he first cultivated the vine above the Molinetto della Croda of Refrontolo in Italy. From generation to generation the Bottega family started with producing wines; then single-variety grappa; liqueur and Prosecco. Today the distillery is located 50km from Venice. The HQ is a seventeenth-century farmhouse surrounded by 10 hectares of vineyards.
