Botter — a major Italian wine house with nearly a century of family history

Casa Vinicola Botter was founded in 1928 by Carlo and Maria Botter in the town of Fossalta di Piave, in the Veneto region of northern Italy. Initially, the company focused on trading local wines, and from the mid-20th century began bottling wines under its own brand. Today, Botter is managed by the third generation of the family and is one of the largest producers and exporters of Italian wines on the international market.

The company works with vineyards and wineries throughout Italy, including the regions of Veneto, Abruzzo, Campania, Apulia, and Sicily, enabling it to offer wines that reflect the diversity of the country’s terroirs. Botter combines traditional winemaking methods with modern technologies in production, quality control, and logistics.
