Bottega - Star - Bottega Stella Millesimato Brut - Speciale Cuveé - Led Edition - Luxury Limited Edition Prosecco

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

On the right bank of the Po, in the extreme south of the Lombardy region ('beyond the little'), lies this land of gentle hills characterized by high temperature ranges and a sedimentary soil with marl extremely favorable to the cultivation of Pinot Noir The two white grape varieties (glera and chardonnay) are grown in the suitable areas of Veneto with a temperate climate, good exposure, draining, calcareous-clayey soils and moderate fertility allow to maintain good acidity and excellent aromas.

Production Process

The grapes are harvested and quickly brought to the cellar to preserve their quality and this allows:

Avoid the presence of foreign materials such as fragments of leaves, shoots, pieces of bark that could negatively affect the sensory profile of the wine;

Reduce crushing and breaking of the berries with leakage of must (mashing) and consequent early oxidation of the same which would lead to a decrease in the polyphenolic potential;

To decrease the percentage of berries or bunches compromised by diseases or not yet perfectly ripe. We proceed to the white vinification of the grapes, with immediate separation of the skins from the must by means of a soft pressing.

The Pinot Noir is then subjected to the second fermentation carried out in an autoclave according to the Charmat Lungo method:

The specific selected yeasts for this winemaking method are added; & gt; The temperature is set at 14/15 ° C to avoid the risk of slowdowns or fermentation blocks and to avoid a decrease in the richness and finesse of the aromas and a change in color;

At the end of the fermentation process the wine is left to age on the lees for a long time. For the Cuvee Chardonnay-Glera the sparkling process is the same except for the aging on the lees.
