ORIGIN

The  Sparkling Brut by Bortolin Angelo comes from the area called Valdobbiadene DOC, where there is an ideal ambient for the Vineyard to produce  its best grapes.
In these hills is indeed one of the most famous and important area of Italy for oenology, the "road of prosecco" an historic crossroads of culture (dating back to 1966) and wine culture, which with its 35 km stretches from Conegliano to Valdobbiadene.
The wine produced in this area has obtained the designation of origin, DOC ConeglianoValdobbiadene.

THE COMPANY

The company Bortolin has a history stretching back three generations ago as race winemakers.
Nowadays, thanks to Angelo and his children, the company had a significant development, becoming a production reality of great experience, passion and using absolutely only traditional methods for its wines.

WINE - MAKING

Obtaining a quality wine undoubtedly requires the use only of quality grapes.
The Sparkling Brut  fact is obtained from the more dense vineyards and from mature grapes
Soft pressing to obtain just free-run juice, there is absence of maceration, or contact between juice and skins.
The fermentation, thanks to the action of yeast, transforms sugar into alcohol and other minors substances fundamental to the aroma and the structure of wine. It happens in steel tanks at a constant temperature of 18 to 20 degrees to prevent bacterial attacks.
After the fermentation, the wine undergoes a number of rackings before being stored. At this point you add the "liquer de tirage," a syrup made up of yeast and sugar.
At this point there is a new fermentation, which also produces carbon dioxide. The "liquer" determines the type of sparkling wine.

SPARKLING WINE METHOD

Is used the Charmat method, which is  able to keep better the elegance of the fragrances and freshness of fruity aromas.
That’s how Sparkling  Brut by Bortolin is born.
