Casa Vinicola Botter was founded by Carlo Botter at Fossalta di Piave, near Venice in 1928. The company is now the 7th largest Italian wine producer in terms of revenues. In 2017 Casa Vinicola Botter sold about 86 million bottles, providing the major international retailers with a wide wine offer representative of the main Italian regions with focus on Prosecco, Pinot Grigio and Primitivo. In the last ten years the company has continued to grow succeeding in tripling its revenues, and it gains credit as the most dynamic, innovative and efficient Italian wine producer. According to the market study on the Italian wine sector in 2017 edited by Mediobanca, the company gained the podium both for its propensity to export (which is about 97% of its revenues) and the high profitable performance.
