THE COMPANY
LA GRANDE BOTTEGA ITALIANA
"The idea was born after a motorbike trip through the most beautiful and true places in Italy."
A MEETING OF KNOWLEDGE AND FLAVOURS
In those countryside and villages it is still possible to discover traditional knowledge, capable of giving life to full and unique flavours. It happens when you meet the people and learn their stories, made up of care, ethics and respect, for the land and for rural culture, which is as contemporary as it is ancient.
A PLACE OF RELATIONSHIPS
Meeting the pasta makers, the cheesemakers, the vine growers who in a fair economy of spirit work with the products of the land and animal farming, gave rise to the decision. To create a digital shop, a place for relationships and purchasing, where to create a community between growers, breeders, producers and people who make caring for things, the land and food their lifestyle.
