Bortolomiol
[The house that made the first Brut Prosecco]
Bortolomiol lies at Valdobbiadene, in the heart of the Prosecco DOCG. The family's history as wine growers reaches back to the eighteenth century, though the winery itself was founded in 1949 by Giuliano Bortolomiol.
A pioneer of the Charmat method, Giuliano produced the first Brut Prosecco ever made in 1960. His dream was to raise both the quality and the profile of Prosecco, and to make it a first-class sparkling wine known the world over.
Today his wife Ottavia runs the winery together with their four daughters - Maria Elena, Elvira, Luisa and Giuliana - holding firm to the philosophy behind the house: quality, a strong bond with the land, respect for nature and environmental sustainability.
In recent years Bortolomiol has invested in new technology across every aspect of its winemaking, with the aim of putting the estate on a more sustainable footing, while always keeping the strong link to tradition that Giuliano established.
In 2008 the family took the decision to convert the vineyards to organic farming, and has continued to evolve ever since, minimising the impact its winemaking has on the environment.
[The producer that produced the first Prosecco Brut]
Bortolomiol is located in Valdobbiadene, in the heart of the Prosecco DOCG region. Its history as a wine producer dates back to the 18th century, and the winery itself was founded in 1949 by Giuliano Bortolomiol.
Considered a pioneer of the Charmat method, Giuliano produced the first ever Brut Prosecco in 1960. His dream was to "raise the quality and recognition of Prosecco, making it a prestigious sparkling wine known all over the world."
Today, his wife Ottavia runs the winery together with their four daughters (María Elena, Elvira, Luisa and Giuliana) and ensures the brand's philosophy: quality, a strong connection to the land, respect for nature and environmental sustainability.
In recent years, Bortolomiol has invested in new technologies with the aim of establishing a more sustainable approach to various aspects of winemaking, while always maintaining strong ties to the traditions started by Giuliano.
In 2008, Bortolomiol made the decision to convert its vineyards to organic farming and has continued to evolve ever since to minimize the environmental impact of its winemaking.
