Vinotria

Started by two Italians living in South Africa, Roberto Bottega & Pedro Estrada Belli, who wanted to share their passion for Italy and Italian wines, Vinotria is one of South Africa’s leading importers & distributors of Italian wines.


It has grown since its inception in 2010 to be a key partner, importer and distributor for Italian wine estates looking to grow their presence in the South African market.
