Handling of Wine

Recommended Retail Prices (RRP)
The RRP's listed on www.bottega-italia.com.au are typically obtained directly from the winery and/or their agent. If RRP's are not readily available from the supplier, we will extrapolate an RRP based on the wineries wholesale price plus the standard 35-40% retail mark-up. In instances where a wine is from a non-current vintage (e.g. OLD & RARE wines), we will use either the current RRP for that wine or base the RRP on prices that the wine has been or is being sold for by other Australian retailers. We pride ourselves in providing accurate RRP's; if you believe an RRP to be inaccurate please tell us so we can investigate as a matter of priority.
