Why go
About Enoteca Da Gigi
Da Gigi began in 1930 as a wine outlet, when wine was sold loose and bottled at home. In the early 1970s Luigi Bizzotto, known as Gigi, took the shop over and gradually shaped it into the enoteca it is today.
The family now in its fourth generation chooses every bottle on the shelves itself, after tasting together. More than 900 wine labels and around 300 spirits and liqueurs line the shop, mostly Italian wines, alongside olive oils and vinegars.
