An Italian Wine Cafe is set to open its eighth store in Edinburgh’s bustling Rose Street, creating up to 20 new jobs.

In the spring of 2013 something extraordinary happened. Two Italian guys in their twenties randomly met in Manchester after a game of football to find out that they shared a unique passion they both loved and missed, the Italian Aperitivo; the ritual of drinking, nibbling and relaxing after work. A daily occasion to share moments of happiness with friends and family.

By the end of that very same year, Veeno opened its first store in Manchester. A place where both beginners and experts could enjoy great wines and the most authentic Spuntini ‐ mainly platters of meats and cheeses strictly imported from Italian producers.

Veeno’s wines come from the family vineyard back in Sicily where Nino’s great‐grandfather Antonio planted the first vines in the 19th century. Since then, they have been working hard to ensure that the quality and tradition flows from the bottle to the glass. The list on offer has received much praise, so much so that it has been nominated for the prestigious “best wine list” award in the English Italian awards.

Following successful launches in 7 cities the most recent being Harrogate & Bristol the duo are set to open in Edinburgh.

Nino Caruso, co-founder & director of Veeno said “We’re delighted to be introducing the concept of Aperitivo to Edinburgh and is an exciting leap as we cross the border in to Scotland, our current venues have really created a buzz and we feel that Scotland is really missing out!”

Veeno will open its doors on Saturday 6th August in time for the Fringe Festival crowds and the team could not be anymore excited!
