Bortolin Angelo Valdobbiadene DOCG Extra Dry

Bortolin Angelo, Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry is an extra dry sparkling wine made from Glera (Prosecco) grapes 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 used to create sparkling wine. The drink is very delicate, airy, fresh, and open, allowing it to pair well with a variety of dishes. The light residual sugar makes the taste of the sparkling wine extremely soft. The harvest is collected by hand when the berries reach optimal ripeness. At the winery, the grapes undergo delicate pressing using sophisticated equipment. The production uses grape juice obtained by free-run. 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 is fermented 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 the original aromas of the grapes to be preserved 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 before release.
