IUS NATURAE Valdobbiadene Docg Prosecco Superiore Brut Millesimato from Bortolomiol S.p.A.

IUS NATURAE Valdobbiadene DOCG Prosecco Superiore Brut Millesimato made from organically grown grapes is the natural consequence of the production philosophy of the Bortolomiol family who have always been keen to practice both sustainable and environmentally respectful wine-growing. During harvest two days are set aside purely for harvesting these grapes so as to guarantee absolute control over their quality and ripeness. The mousse is fine and persistent and the pale straw yellow colour indicates the wine has great energy.

An energy that we find both on the nose with its deep austere bouquet of fragrant fruity, flowery and mineral notes of acacia honey and almond flower as well as in the mouth. Here the sweetness is controlled and its zest, combined with a lovely freshness, brings a solid, vigorous and lasting flavour. The wine can be enjoyed with the same foods as traditional Bruts even if in this case its minerality and vigour suggest it would also go well with snails cooked with garlic, parsley and wild herbs.

IUS NATURAE Valdobbiadene DOCG Prosecco Superiore Brut Millesimato is exclusively produced from glera varietal grapes in double inverted training system. The harvest period is in early September. The winemaking is made off skins by gentle pressing. A primary fermentation is made at controlled temperature with selected yeasts. A foaming for 25-30 days and yeast fining phase for 3 months follow. Finally, it is fined in bottle for 2 months. The colour is pale yellow and the perlage is fine and persistent. The sparkling winemaking method is Martinotti – Charmat.
