Italian Wine & Events by Paul Robinson
Welcome to my Online Shop of Italian wine, a tightly curated selection of small family producers from across the boot. Sign-up for Passaporto, my monthly wine club visiting benchmark regions every month. I specialize in crafting memorable Wine Gifts and immersive events tailored to business and private clients.
As a lifelong sommelier and educator, I believe great wine tells the story of place, where culture, geography and fermented grapes all converge. Check out my Class Program of immersive wine tastings, devoted to revealing a sense of place in the glass.
Lets get started by scheduling a brief chat!

Where does the name come from?
Bottivino roughly translates to “wine cask”. The name is in reference to large vessels coopered with wood from the forests of France or Eastern Europe. ‘Botti’ are used by some of the world’s great winemakers to shape and elevate the expression of their wines. I spent time visiting cooperages in Italy, charting the process from forest to barrel. I am drawn to wines aged in these great vessels.
