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

DOC Venezia area ranges from the foothills in the Province of Treviso to the Adriatic Sea in the Province of Venice, namely from Conegliano hills to Caorle lagoon.

Thanks to the protection of the Dolomites in the North and to the proximity with sea and lagoon, it is characterized by a temperate-humid climate.

The soil is made of alluvial material originated from Alpine and pre-Alpine glacier melting and carried by Piave and Livenza rivers.

In the high plain, the high concentration of pebbles and gravel results in a light, draining soil with moderate fertility, creating ideal conditions for viticulture. This area originates the high quality grapes used to produce this sparkling wine.

Production Process

The grapes of the three varieties of this blend are generally harvested around mid-September.

Grapes are quickly carried to the winery to preserve their quality and avoid possible alterations that may result from mechanical damages, premature oxidation, microbial contamination or sun exposure.

Grapes are then destemmed and softly pressed to separate the skins form the must, which is finally cleaned through decantation.

The first fermentation occurs in steel tanks with the addition of selected yeasts.

In accordance to the Martinotti method, the second fermentation occurs in cuve close at a controlled temperature of 14°C, to preserve the primary aromas of the grapes. When sugar turns into alcohol, the yeasts naturally release carbon dioxide, making the wine “sparkling”.

The wine is then cold stabilized, filtered and bottled.
