The Cantina del Polpo was founded in 1989 in the middle of the historic center of Sestri Levante, Italy in a space previously used as a cellar; or a storage for the belongings of the sailors of the time.
It was also used to store large barrels that served as a containers for Aleatico wine which came from the island of Elba.
In fact, there has always been a profitable commercial exchange with the Tuscan island, Elba, especially of oil and wine, which continued until the beginning of the last century.
The Cantina del Polpo has been entirely furnished with relics that belonged to Captain Bregante and other members his family, among which a photo with an autographed dedication by Giuseppe Garibaldi the well known Italian patriot.
Due to its central location, just off the main walking street in Sestri Levante, it is a place where you can taste a good glass of wine with a lunch or dinner based on ancient Ligurian recipes and other original Italian gastronomical delights.
The wine list contains about one hundred and fifty Ligurian producers, a choice that allows you to taste regional wines not exported. We even have some small "forest wine" producers, little known to the wine public but very delicious. The complete selection of wines represent some of the most prestigious national wineries.
We also offer a wide choice of spirits and advise you to consult with our sommelier Emanuele.
In collaboration with the "Amici del Leudo" Association, the Vinaccieri Andrea and Daniele, restarted the wine trade with the Island of Elba in 2012, to continue an ancient trade that was interrupted in 1969.
Only at the Cantina del Polpo, can you taste a Aleatico Wine.
Javier, a young but very experienced chef, who follows the preparation of recipes from all over the Ligurian territory, as well as some goodies based on octopus such as our version of Cappon Magro.
