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 the Glera grapes, used for the production of this wine, extends from the hills of Conegliano to the slopes of Valdobbiadene.

This area is characterized by a mild climate and clayey soils of alluvial origin, rich in minerals, ideal conditions for being able to best express the properties of the Glera grape.

Production Process

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

The bunches, generally harvested around mid-September, are quickly taken to the cellar in order to avoid mechanical damage and early oxidation.

We proceed with the destemming and soft pressing of the grapes in order to separate the skins from the must and finally with the decantation, or rather the cleaning of the must. The first fermentation takes place in steel tanks after the addition of selected yeasts. In accordance with the Martinotti method, the second fermentation takes place in an autoclave, at a temperature which is maintained at 14 °C, to preserve the typical fragrance and aromas present in the original grapes.

At the end of the sparkling process, the wine is cold stabilized, filtered and bottled.
