Bortolin Angelo Valdobbiadene DOCG Extra Dry

Bortolin Angelo, Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry is an extra dry sparkling wine made from Glera grapes (Prosecco) grown on steep slopes in the Valdobbiadene area. The soils are partially alluvial, with glacial and iron deposits and low organic matter content. The Glera grape variety shows its best qualities when made into sparkling wine. The drink is very delicate, airy, fresh, and open, allowing it to pair well with a variety of dishes. A light residual sugar makes the taste of the sparkling wine extremely soft. The harvest is collected by hand exclusively when the berries reach optimal ripeness. At the winery, the berries undergo delicate pressing using sophisticated equipment. The production uses free-run grape juice. Notably, from 100 kg of grapes, a maximum of 70 liters of wine can be obtained. This is followed by a decantation phase at a cold temperature of 5-10 °C in steel tanks for 10-12 hours. The clarified must ferments for about 15-20 days in stainless steel tanks at a constant temperature of 18-20 °C. As a result, a base wine is produced. Subsequently, the sparkling wine is made according to the Italian Charmat method, which involves secondary fermentation in sealed autoclaves, where the previously obtained base wine ferments with sugar and yeast. This technology allows for the preservation of the original aromas of the grapes and achieves the unmistakable fruity-floral composition that distinguishes DOCG Valdobbiadene from any other sparkling wines. After bottling, the sparkling wine "rests" for 30-40 days in bottles before release.
