The Creation of “Scopo Divino”: Unveiling the Divine Purpose of Wine

Scopo Divino was born from a heartfelt desire to recreate those cozy nights filled with great conversations over wine—moments that often become the highlight of our experiences in this amazing city. The founders wanted to capture the essence of those sparsely known corners and rare gems where unique offerings of wine are perfectly paired with delicious food, all complemented by memorable service.

But what does “Scopo Divino” mean? The name carries a dual significance that beautifully encapsulates the establishment’s vision. In Italian, “Scopo Divino” translates to “Divine Purpose,” reflecting a higher calling to create a sanctuary for wine enthusiasts. When separated into three words—“Scopo Di Vino”—it means “The Purpose of Wine,” which seamlessly aligns with our tagline: “The Divine Purpose of Wine.”
