van Berings assisted the Botter family in the takeover of Casa Vinicola Botter S.p.A. by a private equity fund managed by Clessidra with an M&A team composed of Partner Francesco Adami and associates Gianluca Volpato and Alessandro Cattaneo and a finance team led by Partner Luca Lippolis.

The Botter winery is one of the largest exporters of Italian wine in the world with a 230 million turnover in 2020.

Through the re-investment in the controlling holding company held by Clessidra and the participation in the company's management, the Botter family will continue to play a significant operational role, thus ensuring the company's management continuity.

The acquisition has been financed by a pool of banks led by Banco BPM.

Clessidra was assisted by Gattai, Minoli, Agostinelli, Partners as legal advisor, Mediobanca and Bain&Co acting as financial and business advisors.
