Cantine del Vino già Schiavi
Cantine del Vino già Schiavi (Al Bottegon)
A family-run wine shop along the canal in Dorsoduro, highly popular with locals for its wide variety of crostini and budget-friendly wines by the glass.
Also known as Al Bottegon, this family-run wine shop is located on Fondamenta Nani in the Dorsoduro district. It sells both bottled wines and wine by the glass, with over 30 glass options available. The counter is lined with a diverse array of crostini, the most famous being the tuna with cocoa powder, alongside options like gorgonzola with walnut. There is standing room only inside, so many patrons take their paper plates to enjoy by the canal. Reservations are not accepted. It gets busiest in the early evening, so visiting in the morning or just before noon is recommended. Cicchetti start at around 1.5 EUR, and wine by the glass starts at around 1.2 EUR.
