Prosecco DOC Brut GOLD in a Case BOTTEGA

The Prosecco DOC Brut Gold from Cantina Bottega is a wine produced according to the Martinotti-Charmat method, using a blend of Glera, Chardonnay and Pinot grapes from the hilly areas of the province of Treviso. The vineyard develops in an area characterized by strong temperature variations between day and night and highly variable soils, factors that contribute to the development of fine and elegant aromas. The production process involves a harvest that takes place from mid-September, with the grapes harvested and quickly delivered to the cellar to avoid oxidation and preserve the aromatic quality. The grapes are subjected to soft pressing, so as to extract only the noblest fraction of the must. Clarification takes place cold in stainless steel and the first fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, with selected yeasts that transform the sugars into alcohol while maintaining the primary aromatic component intact. The second fermentation takes place in an autoclave, according to the Charmat method, at about 14–15 °C, and lasts on average about 40 days. At this stage, the carbon dioxide that characterizes fine and persistent perlage naturally develops. At the end of fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the inactive yeasts, which through the autolysis process contribute to increasing the complexity, structure and softness of the final product. Stabilization and bottling are then carried out under isobaric conditions to maintain pressure and freshness.
