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.

Fundum Bottega is a Prosecco Frizzante DOC «Sur lie», created according to the traditional method of re-fermentation in the bottle, which has a “bottom”, i.e. a natural deposit of lees. Produced in Treviso since the end of the 19th century, this Prosecco embodies tradition, as it was the wine for habitual consumption during the meals of peasant families. With a cloudy appearance, it is characterized by low sulfite content, and by a dry taste due to very limited sugar content. To express itself at best, its bouquet has to be oxygenated. The crown cap, distinctive feature of the bottle, grants the best preservation and longevity to this category of wines, representing the most original and traditional version of Prosecco.
