Rare wine as an asset. Access as a membership.
Fine wine has been a store of value for centuries. Its inner circle has stayed closed.
Circolo is two ideas in one institution: a fund that acquires and holds investment-grade wine, wrapped in a private members' club that turns ownership into a relationship — and directs its own profits to good.
Pooled capital buys and holds investment-grade rare wine — Barolo, Brunello, top Bordeaux, grower Champagne, first-growth German Riesling — in bonded, insured storage for five to seven years, then sold on the secondary market. Members keep their returns.
Every investor is a member. Tastings, dinners, allocation-only bottles and events at our venues turn ownership into an experience — with access that deepens the more you commit.
The more you commit, the closer to the centre.
Each tier keeps everything below it and adds to it — access widens as commitment grows.
A private room set within the family's restaurant — our headquarters and tasting table. Where the fund is run and the first pours are shared.
Open to every memberA private villa on the Costa Smeralda for members' dinners, tastings and the summer season. Access reserved to the inner circle.
Collector Elite & Founder CircleBuilt by a family who has spent generations at the table.
Circolo is founded by a family behind a group of restaurants and private clubs, whose wine programmes are recognised among the finest in the world. That cellar — and the estate relationships built over generations — is the foundation the fund is built on.
Members keep their returns. Circolo gives its own away.
Investors earn on their wine like any fund. What's different is the house: Circolo pledges its own economics to charitable causes in culture, sustainability and education — reported to members each year.
Membership is by invitation.
Founder Circle seats are limited by design. To enquire about joining the first circle, write to us.
