Region
The Prosecco DOC covers the north-east of Italy and entire regions of Veneto and Friuli with warm and moderately continental climate. The grapes are mostly grown on the flat plain though the DOCG covers the hillier area allowing grapes to have a slower ripening period creating wines of higher acidity and more intense fruit. Glera is the Prosecco grape but the style can range from Brut Nature to Demi-Sec and Frizzante to Spumante.
Producer
The company was born as a retailer in 1928 in the Veneto region for sales of wines in casks and demi-johns to restaurants and small retailers. The company is now run by the third generation and from their roots in Veneto they now have a portfolio of wines produced in some of Italy’s finest regions. Botter pride themselves on their focus of sustainability, going beyond reducing emissions, production of waste and non-renewable energy usage and taking a responsible approach for the whole production chain.
Tasting Notes
The blend of Glera and Pinot Noir results in the characteristic pink base for this fresh and lively bubbly! Delicate and complex bouquet with fruity notes of peach, green apple and lemon along with floral notes of acacia and rose. Fresh and light on the palate, with balanced acidity and body and round and full bodied structure.
Food
Serve chilled either on its own or as an acompaniment to antipasti, fish soups, grilled fish and courses based on mushrooms.
