Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry Senior Millesimato 2025 Bortolomiol

What kind of wine is it

The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Senior di Bortolomiol is a sparkling white wine from the historic hillside area between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. It is a faithful expression of the Extra Dry style, made from grapes selected on the region’s steep slopes. After an initial fermentation as a white wine, the secondary fermentation in pressurized autoclave tanks gives it a lively, harmonious profile. In the glass it offers instant appeal, where the lively acidity melds with a carefully measured residual sweetness.

Where it comes from

The origin area of this Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore extends through the heart of the historic hillside terroir, characterized by steep gradients that require exclusively manual work. The vines benefit from a sunny, cool pre-Alpine climate, where the marked diurnal temperature shifts ensure slow, even ripening of the clusters. These conditions translate into intense aromatic profiles that set these elevations apart from the plains.

How it's made

The grapes destined for Senior are harvested by hand and undergo a delicate white vinification, designed to extract and preserve aromatic purity. The next phase is the second fermentation in large closed vessels, where the wine rests to develop its fine perlage and to set the proportions of the dosage. This process highlights the natural fragrance of the grapes and preserves the smooth flow and balance typical of hillside expressions.

Tasting notes

On visual inspection it shows a bright straw yellow color, crossed by faint greenish hues and a steady stream of bubbles. On the nose it releases subtle floral scents intertwined with clear hints of white fruit. The palate is enveloping and lively, supported by juicy freshness that plays off the softness of the light dosage. The flavor progression closes with a savory, saline finish and a clean profile, ensuring a measured, harmonious sip.

Food pairings

Versatile at the table, it gracefully accompanies the aperitif and pairs harmoniously with delicate appetizers and first courses featuring seasonal vegetables. Its marked freshness precisely balances the richness of a fritto misto di paranza. Exploring the flavors of Venetian cuisine, it proves an apt companion for traditional cicchetti, creating a successful match with crostini di baccalà mantecato or sarde in saor, where the sparkling wine’s acidity cleanses the palate with each sip.

When to serve it

Designed for convivial moments, it is ideal to start a meal thanks to its agile, rounded character. Its aromatic fragrance and lively palate show most clearly when the wine is enjoyed in its youthful prime, a phase in which the fruit component and the energy of the bubbles are most evident. The measured dosage allows it to adapt to different dining occasions, offering an inviting and well-balanced drink.
