The "Prior" is the bearer in its name of an unquestionable truth: Bortolomiol was in fact the first company to decline the Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG in the Brut version, when still all other wineries vinified it exclusively as Extra Dry. Credit to Giuliano Bortolomiol's dedicated spirit of experimentation, which with this Superiore DOCG brings us to the qualitative heights of the winery's production. The glera grapes ferment at a controlled temperature in steel, and then undergo the "presa di spuma" and remain to age for a variable period, between 1 and 3 months. A fine bottle without any smearing, where the aromas on the nose are fragrant and the sip is agile and refreshing: an opportunity to seize at once to taste a truly exciting label.
Tasting Notes.: To the eye, it shows a bright and intense straw yellow color; the perlage is subtle and long-lasting. The olfactory spectrum shows fruity notes of green apple, peach and plum, well mixed with floral scents of wisteria, lily of the valley and herbs. The palate is striking for its great freshness and agility; it is dry with a good balance between savory and acidic components. It closes with a moderately persistent finish.
Pairings: This is the ideal aperitif wine, where its directness lends itself to a large number of recipes and preparations. Excellent with seafood cuisine, it is to die for with lard crostini.
