Methode ancestral Prosecco from Valdobbiadene, an ancient and traditional winemaking process where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, trapping the carbon dioxide naturally emitted when sugar turns into alcohol. 100% hand-picked Glera from steep glacial slopes layered with ancient marine sediment. Completely dry. Notes of just baked bread, early summer fresh apple skin. Evocative and ever-evolving naturally made wine.
Notes on the Producer
Alessandro and Katia Bortolin run their 9 hectare winery in the heart of Santo Stefano, a small village of 500 inhabitants in the DOC of Valdobbiadene part of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, the historic center of Prosecco production in the Veneto. Since the 1500s their family has farmed this small plot of land and they continue with the same thoughtful dedication to supporting this unique terroir, deemed a UNESCO heritage site for its distinct natural and cultural landscape. Situated on steep hills comprised of glacial and marine sediments and located midway between the Alps and the Venetian lagoon, Valdobbiadene benefits from both warm sunny days and the cooling breezes from both the Dolomites and the ocean. Alessandro Bortolin does all the work by hand in both the vineyard and the cellar, espousing a gentle and traditional approach while creating elegant and pure renditions of Prosecco.
