Renzo Rosso rises to 60% of online supermarket Cortilia. Frozen foods and bakery also in the trolley

Renzo Rosso takes control of foodtech company Cortilia. Through his holding company Red Circle, the Veneto-based entrepreneur has increased his stake from 26,3% to more than 60% of the digital platform through a capital increase of 10 million euros.

The remaining shares are held in the portfolios of several asset management companies, such as Indaco venture, Primo Capital and Five Seasons.
According to the report, first previewed by Italia Oggi, Cortilia’s new board reflects the new majority (4 members out of 7), with Lorenzo Tersi, a former director until 2023, founder of LT wine & food advisory and director of Cesena Fiera, as chairman. The board also includes CEO Andrea Colombo, formerly general manager of Coop Lombardia.

Frozen and bakery

Cortilia’s new governance has confirmed the strategic plan 2026/28, which focuses on introducing frozen foods and ice cream to its product range as early as October, as well as expanding its deli offering and developing its bakery (bread, cakes and brioche) from December. Additional revenues at full scale could approach 8-9 million.
Cortilia is an online shop offering quality food shopping. Founded in 2011, following the short supply chain model (that is, connecting agricultural producers with consumers), it is now a premium-range supermarket: its offering ranges from cured meats to fish and from wine to personal hygiene products. Delivery, at least for some categories, is guaranteed throughout Italy, while same-day delivery is available in Milan and the surrounding area.

Agreement with Amazon

In 2025, Cortilia generated revenue of 45,4 million (+9,4%), an Ebitda of -4,87 mln and a loss of 6,8 million.
The company has entered into several partnerships: in particular, the partnership with Amazon covers areas not served by the Amazon Fresh channel. There are also two others, with the physical shops Il Viaggiator goloso and the retail chain To.Market.
