BOTTEGA S.P.A. Codega di Sant'Urbano (TV)
Of the beautiful (and historic) Veneto company, this is certainly the best known bottle. It is Bottega Gold, Prosecco DOC, one of the world's best-selling quality sparkling wines. The base is Glera grapes, as per specifications. The grapes are harvested and brought quickly to the cellar to preserve their quality and avoid alterations. They are then pressed, softly, to extract only the best from the starting fruit, without compromising the quality of the wine. The must thus obtained is kept at a low temperature in steel tanks and filtered to eliminate any impurities. At the end of frothing, the wine is left in contact with its own yeasts which, thanks to the autolysis process, release substances that are important for the body, structure and aromaticity of the wine. This reveals a goblet of brilliant colour. Straw yellow, with a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is typical and refined, with fruity notes, particularly of green apple, pear and citrus fruits, and floral notes. To finish, sage and light brush strokes of spice are discernible. In the mouth, it is soft, harmonious and elegant, with a slender body and a present but well-harmonised acidity.
Raise your hand if you have never turned around and walked past a shelf or table on which a bottle of sparkling wine all in gold or silver was proudly displayed. When this happens, the goal of Bottega is achieved. With packaging like this it is difficult, if not impossible, to go unnoticed. A little excessive? Perhaps it is but, and this is something few people know, there is also a lot of history inside that bottle. Suffice it to say that the 'progenitor' of the Bottega family, Andrea, was already cultivating vines in one of the most beautiful places in the world, the hills above the Molinetto della Croda di Refrontolo, as far back as 1635. At that time, the Bottega family were tenant farmers of the Counts of Collalto, from whom they later succeeded in freeing themselves by becoming small direct cultivators. Over the centuries, they moved from wine marketing to distillation, achieving great success, and then moved on to the production of quality wines, with a beautiful site right in the Prosecco hills. Today, one reads on the company's website, Bottega wines and liqueurs have won over 350 international prizes and awards. And they are present in more than 140 countries around the world. But that's not enough. As of 2017, Bottega Gold is the second best-selling sparkling wine in travel retail according to the IWSR ranking. Besides appearance, therefore, also substance.
