Bottega - Rose Gold - Pinot Nero Sparkling Brut Rosé - Rose Gold 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, south of Lombardy, lies this land of rolling hills characterized by climatic and geomorphological conditions extremely favorable to the cultivation of the vine.

The climate is temperate, with high temperature ranges, dry in winter and ventilated in summer.

Soil has sedimentary soils with marls consisting of limestone and fine clays in equal quantities.

Production Process

The grapes are harvested manually and, after the rasping, the must is left in contact with the skins for 24 hours at 5 ° C.

Cold maceration allows to develop:

- Coloring substances;

- Primary grape aromas present in the inner part of the peel;

- The low temperature allows not to start the fermentation and also allows a lower extraction of tannins and polyphenols that would give the wine a bitter taste and astringency.

The rosé must is then separated from the skins by soft pressing and fermented at a controlled temperature of 18 ° C.

During the year following the harvest, we proceed to the refermentation (sparkling process) in an autoclave, according to the Martinotti method, at a controlled temperature of 14 ° C and using selected yeasts.

Then the wine is left to rest on the lees for complete ripeness. Finally, the wine is filtered, bottled and left to rest in the bottle, before being put on the market so that the different components can regain their balance.
