Bottega del Vino

03.11. - 05.11.2025

Colori e sapori autoctoni del sud.

Italy again?
Haven't there been enough merchants selling the supposedly unique "authentic" wines from the south for a long time? Isn't it getting a bit monotonous?

The Bottega del Vino can't work miracles either - but it sets different accents. And that makes all the difference.

Eight winegrowers present their wines: from sunny Ticino and from Italy. All of them are small, sometimes tiny businesses that deliberately avoid the usual pigeonholes of their regions.

  • Etna by Michele (Pietradolce, Sicilia) - surprisingly different
  • Faro by Gianfranco and Andrea (Casematte, Sicilia) - unconventional
  • Greco by Antonella (Antonella Lombardo, Calabria) - almost unknown
  • Primitivo from MarrubiuM (Azienda Le Fabriche, Puglia) - just not "the typical" Primitivo
  • Perhaps the best Shiraz in Italy (Maestà di Santa Luce, Toscana)
  • A pearl: the Rebola from Rimini by Riccardo, Mister Rebola (Franco Galli, Romagna)
  • A real discovery: the Erbaluce from Luca (Luca Leggero, Piemonte)
  • And last but not least... the other world, the "shock" from Ticino: the three rebels from Castel San Pietro - Tenuta Villa Castello. Simply cool!

That's what we call variety. Let us surprise you!

09.11. - 10.11.2025

Exploring Portugal's Wine Diversity

At this year's Expovina, the Swan Tasting Bar offers a unique opportunity to discover the richness and diversity of Portuguese wines. Three leading producers present an exceptional selection from some of Portugal's most renowned regions.

  • Aveleda - Vinho Verde & Douro: From the fresh and vibrant Vinho Verde region to the iconic Douro Valley, Aveleda showcases wines that reflect both elegance and tradition. Expect lively, crisp whites from the north alongside structured, characterful reds from one of the world's oldest demarcated wine regions.

  • Cas' Amaro - Lisbon, Dão & Vinho Verde: Casa Amaro brings a multi-regional portfolio highlighting three distinctive terroirs: the Atlantic influence of Lisbon, the refined balance and minerality of Dão, and the freshness and aromatic expression of Vinho Verde. A perfect chance to taste the diversity within one producer.

  • Herdade dos Grous - Alentejo: From the rolling plains of the Alentejo, Herdade dos Grous presents wines of depth, intensity, and elegance. Known for their full-bodied reds and expressive whites, they capture the warmth and richness of Portugal's sunniest region.

Join us at the Swan Tasting Bar and let these producers guide you through Portugal's landscapes in a glass - from the Atlantic coast to the Douro Valley and the Alentejo plains.
