Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Superiore Extra Dry 'Bandarossa' Bortolomiol 2023

The Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry "Bandarossa" is a tribute to the historic producer Giuliano Bortolomiol. Starting in the 1970s, he drew an identifying symbol on his favourite Extra Dry wines with a red pencil, which he then reserved for his closest friends. Hence the name Bandarossa, which since 1986 has become a national label and represents a selection of the most excellent Extra Dry wines produced by the winery. Its success was remarkable, to the point of becoming one of the most appreciated and recognised bottles for its very high quality. It is produced as Millesimato from the best Glera grapes of the vintage, vinified according to the Charmat/Martinotti method and dosed with a good level of sugar.

The aim of the Bortolomiol winery, now run by the four daughters, is to produce unique Prosecchi. To do this, everything starts with the vineyard and the control of the vines. The winery aims at environmentally sustainable agriculture with a low environmental impact. If the vine grows healthy, the fruit will be healthy, a simple and perhaps obvious idea, but one that is hardly applied in today's world. It is produced from pure Glera grapes, harvested by hand and vinified in white, until refermentation which takes place in pressurised autoclaves for about a month. Maturation on the yeasts is fairly short, so that the Prosecco can express its delicate flavours and fragrant aromas to the fullest.

Bortolomiol's "Bandarossa" Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry illuminates the glass with a straw-yellow colour, tending to greenish, and is further enhanced by a rich and persistent perlage. The aromas are young and fresh and mainly recall golden apples and white flowers. On the palate it is pleasant, amiable and easy to drink, perfect for an aperitif with friends or even on special occasions.
