Signorvino Arrives in Paris

The 7,560-square-foot Signorvino space covers three floors and features an outdoor area as well. The location seats 160 guests and is part of the “Journey Across Flavours” project started by the brand in 2023 at the wine trade show Vinitaly.
The first store outside of Italy debuted in Prague, Czech Republic, on Nov. 9, at the Westfield Chodov shopping center.
In both cities, the menu pays tribute to Italy’s traditions with a gastronomic offering based on cutting boards, cured meats, focaccias for aperitifs, to name a few, adding Italian specialities like lasagna alla Bolognese or beef tartare for lunch and dinner. The cellar has more than 2,000 wines and Champagne.
“In Paris, we’ll offer a diverse selection of Champagne without deviating from our concept. As for the wine and food offering, we’ll keep relying on our suppliers, as we believe that the uniqueness and authenticity of Italian cuisine are key factors for success,” said Federico Veronesi, owner of Signorvino with his family.
The project was conceived as a journey in which to capture the stories and flavors of Italian viticulture. “Viaggio nel gusto” is Signorvino’s manifesto, a concept that “allows us to express our enthusiasm in exploring Italy’s incredible gastronomic heritage,” Veronesi remarked.
Calzedonia Group, founded by chairman Sandro Veronesi, controls also the Calzedonia, Intimissimi and Tezenis labels as well as knitwear brand Falconeri, bridal line Atelier Emé. In September last year, it bought an 80 percent stake in the Antonio Marras brand.
