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

Grapes are grown on alluvial lands made of sand, gravel, clay and limestone. These draining soils also provide a source of nutrients and water to the vine.

The area is protected against cold winds and benefits from the proximity to the Adriatic Sea, forming ideal conditions for winegrowing.

Production Process

After the harvest, the bunches are gently pressed removing stems and the must is left in contact with the skins for 12-16 hours at 5°C.

Cold maceration allows for the extraction of:

- Color

- Primary aroma of the grapes, located in the inner part of the skin

- Mannoproteins and other polysaccharides.

This procedure creates a pinkish must, richer in varietal aromas and more structured.

Thanks to the low temperature, the fermentation is stopped and less tannins and polyphenols are extracted, as they would lead to bitter and astringent features.

The must is then softly pressed to separate it from the skins.

Fermentation occurs with the addition of selected yeasts, in accordance to the Martinotti method, in cuve close at a controlled temperature of 14-15°C.

The wine is then cold stabilized, filtered and bottled.

Manzoni Moscato Bottega, an expression of the uniqueness of its vine, represents the care and attention towards each production phase and fine packaging, which have always been the distinctive features of Bottega. The precious pink painted bottle helps protecting the wine from the dangerous light-driven oxidation, preserving its freshness and elegance.
