Vino Vero Venezia
About

Our first wine bar began with a focus on the local fabric of small producers, who have long been eager to disassociate themselves from the stigmatised “ombra Veneta”. Vino Vero Venezia opened in 2014 and today offers one of the best selections of natural wines in the world, in just a few years it has become a meeting place for producers and drinkers where they mingle in the discovery of our wild and vast array of natural wines by the glass, the ultimate motif of conviviality! The bottles presented on our racks are there to be tasted and sipped by the glass without any hesitation.

Founders
Matteo & Mara

Matteo Bartoli together with his wife Mara Sartore and his brother Massimiliano, are the founders of Vino Vero. The opening of Vino Vero was inspired by Matteo and Mara’s experience as partners of a biodynamic winery in Tuscany. Vino Vero opened in 2014 and was the first wine bar in Venice solely dedicated to natural wine.  Thanks to the opening of Vino Vero Lisbon we have further expanded our knowledge, contacts, and outreach and we strive to continue to nurture our love for all that is natural.

Senior Host
Stella

Our head wine connoisseur could not have a more suitable name. She radiates light and her welcoming bright smile complements the most elegant of Japanese hospitality, with an attention to the finest standards of service. Stella is an interpreter of oriental cultures and languages, a course of study which drawn her closer to the aesthetics of nature, with its strength and energy, influencing her careful selection of wine makers who work in a symbiotic relationship with the ‘terroir’.

Senior Host
Ronny

Lucio Dalla sang about a Berliner who gets lost in Bologna. Ronny about eight years ago got lost in Venice and decided to stay to start a new life. Passionate about natural wines, the immense Italian cuisine, and a “Rock n ‘Roll Lifestyle”, he began working in several ‘slow food ‘restaurants in the city and tasted any spontaneously fermented wine and indigenous yeasts that could be found. Always looking for interesting combinations, particular tastes, and the glass of happiness.

 

Senior Host
Camilla

The passion for catering is Camilla’s “family vice”, and the passion for wine was passed on to her by her father. She started working in a restaurant in the Piedmontese Langhe, here she learned the secrets of hospitality and customer care. She returned to Veneto and specialized in bar tendering, and then moved again in search of new opportunities. Wine has always been a pleasure for her and over time it has become a passion, to be a host in Venice makes her very proud, because growing up she has realized that this profession is made up of people and experiences, and that having the opportunity to meet customers from all over the world enriches you and that you never stop learning!
Sharing is Caring 🙂

Senior Host
Nicola

Up to the age of 25 Nicola didn’t quite know what he wanted to do when he grew up, then after many jobs, and after a not-too-lucky work experience, he became passionate about catering.
He went back to work in Venice in a restaurant and immediately the world of artisanal wine, and that of “real wine”, captivated him thanks above all to 3 people who made me discover and deepen it. From that moment all went very fast. He graduated as an AIS sommelier, he participated in a couple of harvests, with an ever-growing desire to learn and get to know new producers, places, and territories.
He thinks that the experience in Vino Vero will help him to improve his growth and hopes he will also be able to bring something of his own to the group.

Social Media Manager
Esmeralda

Her intrinsic attraction to manual genius immediately prompted her to go down the road of artisanal. She was naturally leavened and baptized with entrepreneurship at Forno Brisa bakery in Bologna, her vision continues to ferment and thrive at Vino Vero where she takes care of social media.

UNLOCK THE NIGHT IN VENICE, FREE VINO VERO! SIGN OUR PETITION

Sign this petition so that Venice does not become the world’s biggest museum, with fixed opening and closing times, where people no longer have the right and freedom to live. This trend does not only affect Venice, but all Italian historic centres.

The court of Venice has issued a decree obliging Vino Vero, a natural wine bar with over 1,000 labels, to close early at 11pm. The reason for this is down to a complaint from the tenants on the floor above, according to whom the ‘noise emissions’ coming from the wine bar are intolerable, to the point of compromising their psycho-physical balance.

The judge’s order reads: ‘the anthropic activities connected with the “Vino Vero” restaurant exceed the tolerable threshold of noise emissions (…) even when there are only two people sat at a table and when there are four people on the premises, the noise emissions exceed the threshold of normal tolerability’.

We are faced with a huge paradox: if just two people sitting at a table having a glass of wine is a problem, then the activity of any venue or restaurant operating after 11pm in Venice becomes illegal.

The message which comes across is that Venice after 11pm should close and its inhabitants should stay at home under a curfew, because then even the normal passage of boats and people becomes a disturbance.

A city that closes at 11 p.m. is no longer a city.

A Moment of Pure Hedonism

Here is all the simplicity of our service: a moment of pure hedonism between a sip and a bite.
