Bottega supports the nomination of italian cuisine as Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage

5 December 2025

Bottega S.p.A. is proud to support the nomination of Italian cuisine as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, a recognition that would enhance not only our country’s gastronomic tradition, but also the entire Italian food and wine sector.

To mark this important initiative, a sign promoting the nomination has been displayed in the 20 Bottega Prosecco Bars in Italy and around the world.

The “Prosecco Bar” concept, created in 2014, celebrates Italian excellence and revives the philosophy of the Venetian bacaro, offering both “cicheti” and structured dishes, paired with Prosecco and Italian wines. The menus highlight Made in Italy ingredients and recipes, with attention also paid to the religious and cultural needs of different geographical areas.

Sandro Bottega, CEO of Bottega S.p.A., emphasizes:

“Italian cuisine offers an incredible variety of regional dishes, ingredients of the highest quality, and wine pairings that make every dining experience memorable. It has all the credentials to become a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage site.”
