Enoteca Sileno is the trading name of L Di Santo Pty Ltd which imports a large portfolio of regional, specialty food and wine products from Italy and distributes them throughout Australia and New Zealand.

The complete range of products is sold through the Enoteca Sileno Retail Showroom in Carlton North, Melbourne, while the Online Store at enoteca.com.au has a reduced range of key products lines.

Enoteca Sileno Wholesale Division supplies many of the food and wine products to specialist food stores, retailers, bottle shops and restaurants throughout Australia and New Zealand.

If you would like to know if someone stocks a specific product in your local area, please e-mail us via the Contact Us page and we’ll send you the details.

At Enoteca Sileno we have an unconditional commitment to delivering our foods and wines to you in optimal condition.

Nearly all our products are shipped to Australia in refrigerated containers which are fitted with temperature data loggers allowing us to monitor container temperatures over every part of the journey.

Our warehouse facility in Brunswick, Melbourne, is totally climate-controlled and is fitted with industrial cold rooms for storing perishable products.

Our Retail Showroom is similarly temperature controlled and maintained at cellar temperature of approximately 18 degrees.

The Italian word “Enoteca” means a wine repository, or place where wine is collected and sold. Italians commonly use the term to describe bottle shops that specialize in wine, but also to mean wine bar.

As far as we know, when Gino Di Santo opened Enoteca Sileno in 1982, it was the first place in Australia that specialized in Italian wines and the first business to use the word 'Enoteca' in its name.

Over the past years several restaurants have used the word Enoteca in their business name, however, they are not a part of Enoteca Sileno.

I have had an adverse reaction to the product.

If you react to a product, it does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with the product itself and that Enoteca Sileno, or its suppliers are at fault, or responsible. 

Any customers with food sensitivities or allergies, on medication, or with a history of adverse reaction to unfamiliar food products, should check all ingredients. If in doubt you should seek advice from a qualified professional before purchasing a product.

I am a vegetarian and after I started using the product I realised it had animal products.

Customers with specific food restrictions whether they are religious, ideological or medical, should be careful to check all ingredients and seek advice from staff before purchasing a product. In these circumstances Enoteca Sileno cannot be held responsible.

I began consuming the product but I don't like the taste.

Flavour is subjective. What is delicious to one person may be unpalatable to another. It doesn't mean the product is faulty, or that Enoteca Sileno or the product’s manufacture is at fault.

Many of the food and wine products at Enoteca Sileno are genuine regional specialties which are artisan produced. Textures, flavours and aromas can differ significantly from similar products which are industrially produced. 

How do I return a product I purchased online?

If you live in the Melbourne Metropolitan area, the easiest way is to return it to the Retail Showroom.

If this is not possible, the item will then need to be shipped back to us. Please call the Retail Showroom on 03 9389 7009 to discuss the circumstances of the product return and to receive further advice on returning the product.
