Bottega - Family Vintners & Master Distillers since 1635

Bottega S.p.A. it is at the same time a winery and a distillery, which has a close-knit team of expert winemakers both in winemaking and in distillation. The headquarters is located in Bibano di Godega (TV), in the Doc Prosecco area, 50 km north of Venice. The company was founded in 1977 by Aldo Bottega, master distiller with more than thirty years of experience in the field, which he had inherited from his grandfather, an expert wine merchant during the '20s, the passion for the world of wine. At the end of the '70s the company is a small company operating in the local grappa market.

In 1983, on the death of the founder, his son Sandro, together with his brothers Barbara and Stefano, took over the company. From an artisan reality, which operated only in the world of grappa, it has transformed over the years into one of the first 20 private wineries and distilleries. In the duty free and travel retail channel it has burned down the stages and, as far as sparkling wines are concerned, has become the second brand in the world, after a well-known Champagne brand. The unmistakable Bottega Gold, a Prosecco Doc characterized by the bottle with golden livery, is an icon of style that is appreciated throughout the world as an expression of the best Made in Italy.

Features - Production Area

The cultivation area of ​​Glera and Pinot Nero grapes, used for the production of this wine, extends into the Prosecco DOC area. These areas are characterized by a mild climate and clayey soils of alluvial origin rich in minerals, ideal conditions to best express the properties of Glera and Pinot Noir grapes.

Production Process

The grapes are harvested when the sensory analyzes carried out on the grapes in the vineyard and the analysis of the ripening indices show a natural acidity and good minerality (induced by the soil).

Since the two varieties have different ripening times, they are vinified separately.

Glera grapes are generally harvested in mid-September. We proceed with the destemming, soft pressing and finally with the cleaning of the must.

The first fermentation takes place in steel tanks after the addition of selected yeasts.

Pinot Nero, on the other hand, is harvested at the end of August. After the harvest we proceed with the destemming and soft pressing of the grapes. A prefermentative maceration of about 12-16 hours is carried out in contact with the skins to extract the color.

The must is then separated from the skins and fermented at a controlled temperature.

The two wines obtained, together with an aliquot of Glera must, will then be assembled and fermented according to the Method Martinotti at a controlled temperature of 15-16 ° C and the refermentation process lasts an average of 2 months.
