Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Superiore Extra Dry 'Bandarossa' Bortolomiol 2024

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

The goal of the Bortolomiol winery, now managed by the 4 daughters, is to create unique Proseccos. To achieve this, everything starts from the vineyard and the control of the vines. The winery aims for eco-sustainable agriculture, with a low environmental impact. If the vine grows healthy, the fruitwill 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, hand-picked and vinified in white, up to the refermentation that takes place in pressurized autoclaves for about a month. The aging on the lees is quite short, so that the Prosecco can fully express its delicate flavors and fragrant aromas.

The “Bandarossa” by Bortolomiol lights up the glass with a straw yellow color, tending towards greenish, and is further brightened by a rich and persistent perlage. The aromas are young and fresh, primarily recalling golden apples and white flowers. On the palate, it is pleasant, sweet and very drinkable, perfect for enjoying as an aperitif among friends or even on special occasions.
