Description
What kind of wine is it
The Senior Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry by Bortolomiol is a sparkling wine from Veneto made from Glera grapes. The glass reveals a delicate bouquet, where notes of green apple and citrus blend with subtle hints of white flowers. The tasting is enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage that precedes a fresh and harmonious sip. On the palate, it is velvety, supported by a pleasant acidity well balanced by the measured softness typical of the Extra Dry style, finishing with a long and clean aftertaste.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine originates from the hills of Valdobbiadene, an area characterised by steep slopes that require rigorous heroic viticulture. The clay soils, rich in manganese and minerals, impart a distinct varietal character to the wine. The mild climate favours the ripening of the grapes, which are harvested by hand. The vineyards range from old vines over sixty years old to more recent plantings, ensuring an ideal balance to enhance the elegance of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco.
How it is produced
The harvest takes place at the end of September, followed by a gentle pressing and fermentation at a controlled temperature. The secondary fermentation occurs using the Charmat-Martinotti method, with a period of about a month in a pressurised tank and no ageing in barrels, to preserve the fruit's fragrance. The entire production process follows sustainable practices and results in a refined glass, ideal even for those following a vegan diet.
