The Prosecco Prior di Bortolomiol represents the number one among the traditional DOCG sparkling wines of Bortolomiol. The Roman numeral on the capsule and the name "Prior" recall how Bortolomiol was the first to envision and create this Brut sparkling wine when Prosecco from Valdobbiadene was still only Extra Dry. Prior is the symbol of the pioneering spirit of Giuliano Bortolomiol, who believed in Prosecco from Valdobbiadene (now Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Docg) and in the Martinotti-Charmat sparkling method for creating wines of great interest and pleasantness. The grapes mature in hillside vineyards cultivated with the traditional "modified cappuccina" method, they are harvested in the second half of September and vinified at low temperature with selected yeasts in the cellar. The secondary fermentation in autoclave lasts between 25 and 30 days, followed by about 3 months of refinement in the bottle.

PROSECCO PRIOR BORTOLOMIOL: TASTING

The Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore Brut Prior by Bortolomiol is straw yellow with greenish reflections, bright with a dense and fine effervescence. On the nose, it offers fragrant aromas of pear and apple, snuff peach and bergamot, acacia and jasmine. The taste is fresh and fine, perfectly balanced, slightly savory and bitter. A perfect sparkling wine to start a meal, perhaps paired with some creamed cod on black bread.
