The days of ‘I’ll just have a Prosecco’ are in the past. There’s some seriously complex (and yes, still delicious and refreshing) bubbles coming out of the famous Northern Italian region. It’s with extreme excitement that we introduce you to the wines of Bortolomiol. The winery is run by Ottavia Bortolomiol alongside her daughters Maria Elena, Elvira, Luisa and Giuliana. It’s absolutely a family affair with a focus on creating world class sparkling wines in a sustainable manner. What they are doing is so impressive, they were recently included in a Prosecco masterclass at Vue de Monde hosted by none other than Tyson Stelzer, Australia’s top sparkling wine critic. So forget what you know about Prosecco and get on board with the new wave of exceptionalism.
Miòl is an extra dry cuvée made from glera (the traditional Prosecco grape) blended with chardonnay and verdiso. Yields are quite small for Prosecco, leading to great concentration and precision in the wine. The bead is quite fine, the aromatics vivid and citrusy, and the palate even has a savoury touch to go along with stunning minerality and a cleansing finish. This is Prosecco, dialed up to 11.
