Bottega – Poeti – Prosecco D.O.C. Brut Sparkling Wine – Poeti Edition – Jeroboam – Prosecco & Sparkling Wines – Avvenice^ Wines

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

The area of ​​cultivation of Glera grapes, used for the production of this wine, extends from the Conegliano hills to the slopes of Valdobbiadene.

This area is characterized by a mild climate and alluvial clay soils rich in minerals, ideal conditions to best express the properties of Glera grapes.

Production Process

The grapes are harvested, when the sensory analyzes carried out on the grapes in the vineyard and the analysis of the ripening indices show a natural acidity and a good minerality (induced by the soil).

The bunches, generally hand-picked around the middle of September, are quickly taken to the cellar in order to avoid mechanical damage and early oxidation.

We proceed with the de-stemming and the soft pressing of the grapes in order to separate the skins from the must and finally with the decantation, or the cleaning of the must.

The first fermentation takes place in steel tanks after the addition of selected yeasts. According to the Martinotti method, the second fermentation develops in an autoclave, at a temperature that is kept at 14 ° C, to preserve the fragrance and typical aromas present in the grapes of origin.

At the end of the sparkling process, the wine is cold stabilized, filtered and bottled.
