Prosecco - Prior Bortolomiol

Nederlandse Versie (English below)

BORTOLOMIOL “PRIOR”

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. Brut Millesimato

De nummer één onder de traditionele D.O.C.G.-spumanti van Bortolomiol. Het Romeinse cijfer op de capsule en de naam “Prior” herinneren aan hoe Bortolomiol als eerste deze Brut-versie ontwikkelde, toen Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore alleen als Extra Dry bestond. Prior symboliseert de pioniersgeest van Giuliano Bortolomiol, die geloofde in de kwaliteit van Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore (nu D.O.C.G.) en de Martinotti-Charmat-methode (ook wel “Italiaanse methode”).

Data Sheet 

“PRIOR”

Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore D.O.C.G. Brut Millesimato

The flagship sparkling wine of Bortolomiol’s traditional D.O.C.G. line. The Roman numeral on the capsule and the name “Prior” commemorate how Bortolomiol pioneered this Brut style when Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore was only produced as Extra Dry. Prior embodies Giuliano Bortolomiol’s visionary belief in Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore (now D.O.C.G.) and the Martinotti-Charmat method (aka “Italian method”).
