Caleo is a recent endeavor of the Botter family, a wine story that began in the early 1900's and is one of continuing success. Carlo Botter, a farmer by origin, left the fields of Veneto and began to broker wines. He sent his casks to the best inns in Venice and the zone around the Piave, traveling on the canals of the area. With the money he made, he began to construct cellars of his own and to buy the best land available. By the 1950's the Botters were exporting to regions outside of the Veneto. By the 1960's they began exporting their own wines to other European countries. They have since expanded their production to include wines from Puglia, Abruzzi, and Sicily.

Part of the production is from their own vineyards, which mainly consist of alluvial rich soil in the Veneto and Friuli. Part of the production is furnished by growers who have worked with the Botter family for years and is basically an extension of their own vineyards.

The Botter family has slowly expanded into foreign markets, making sure to maintain quality levels as they grow. This cautiousness has earned them the reputation of being reliable and quality-orientated. There is nothing cold or factory-like about the Botters. They are enthusiastic, curious, and warm. Botter is a family-run business that functions with a Swiss efficiency and Italian soul.
