Bottega - Sambuca Bianca Bottega - Star Anise Liqueur - Cremes - Liqueurs and Spirits

Bottega - Family Vintners & Master Distillers since 1935

Bottega S.p.A. it is at the same time a winery and a distillery, which has a close-knit team of expert winemakers both in winemaking and in distillation. The headquarters is located in Bibano di Godega (TV), in the Doc Prosecco area, 50 km north of Venice. The company was founded in 1977 by Aldo Bottega, master distiller with more than thirty years of experience in the field, which he had inherited from his grandfather, an expert wine merchant during the '20s, the passion for the world of wine. At the end of the '70s the company is a small company operating in the local grappa market.

In 1983, on the death of the founder, his son Sandro, together with his brothers Barbara and Stefano, took over the company. From an artisan reality, which operated only in the world of grappa, it has transformed over the years into one of the first 20 private wineries and distilleries. In the duty free and travel retail channel it has burned down the stages and, as far as sparkling wines are concerned, has become the second brand in the world, after a well-known Champagne brand. The unmistakable Bottega Gold, a Prosecco Doc characterized by the bottle with golden livery, is an icon of style that is appreciated throughout the world as an expression of the best Made in Italy.

Cremes & Liquors

The Creams and Liqueurs are the result of an accurate selection of raw materials combined with the long-standing experience of Bottega. The Cream are soft and velvety on the palate, with a unique taste and the Liqueurs are fresh and aromatic.

Bottega - Sambuca Bianca Bottega - Star Anise Liqueur - Cremes - Liqueurs and Spirits

Sweet and intense, this liqueur has a unique taste which satisfies even the most demanding  palates, in an elegant and intriguing packaging. Anise is an aromatic plant, native of the Middle East. The star anise  variety, whose name comes from the star shape of its fruits, is richer in  fragrant compounds and therefore particularly suited for the production  of this liqueur. Its essential oil is the precious main ingredient for  Sambuca Bottega. When mixed with alcohol, water and sugar, it creates  a dense, velvety liqueur with a great character, appreciated both for its  pleasant taste and for its refined bouquet.
