Italian winemaker and distiller Bottega is set to launch Bottega Gold Cru, the first release of its Prosecco Premium Vintage Collection at the upcoming TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes (Blue Village, A11).
According to Bottega, the collection was created to enhance the entire Prosecco category. The aim is to produce sparkling wines of the highest quality by extending fermentation time to obtain wines with a more complex character and good longevity. Crus from the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene are used in a long and meticulous fermentation process which allows “extraordinary levels of quality to be achieved”.
Bottega Gold Cru is Prosecco Doc Extra Brut, vintage 2022, originating from grapes coming from a single vineyard. It is characterised by fine and persistent perlage, with a bouquet offering fruity (including green apple and pear) and floral notes (white flowers and acacia) and hints of bread crust.
Bottega hinted at a €250 price tag for the top release of the Prosecco Premium Vintage Collection, which will be launched in the near future. This is due to both the high production costs and the cost of the bottles, chosen to ensure the Prosecco stand out from any other product on the market.
“They are dedicated to consumers with an exceptional profile, both wine experts and refined connoisseurs looking for exclusive products,” the winemaker added.
Bottega explained how its valorisation process is based on an analysis of the rarity of the type of grape used; cultivation and fermentation costs are high, but longevity exceeds that of any other classic method. “This is a revolution that will allow this product to stand out everywhere and in any comparison with any other sparkling wine for its qualitative uniqueness and its innovative look.”
