MOTUS VITAE

Bortolomiol’s “MOTUS VITAE” (heart of Valdobbiadene DOCG area) is a fragrant, fruity, flowery and austere Prosecco made from 100% Glera grape variety, from single-vineyard Rive S.Pietro di Barbozza.
This Grande Cuvèe is dedicated to Giuliano Bortolomiol, the first one to make a Prosecco Brut, a “Rive” which is exclusively produced with grapes from the San Pietro di Barbozza vineyard, Extra Brut and Millesimato in order to present the particular characteristics of each vintage in the best possible way. These characteristics inspired the colours of the packaging: the dark brown of the earth and the light blue of the sky.

Harvested half-way September, vinification will undergo classic white wine process “off skins” by gentle pressing. A primary fermentation at controlled temperature with selected yeasts.
The second fermentation occurs in large tanks following the Metodo Martinotti, with foaming taking place within 25-30days. Refinement on the yeasts for about 10 months, followed by 2 to 3 more months refinement in the bottle.

The appearance shows a straw yellow colour. The mousse is fine and persistent, and a gorgeous nose invites with a very subtle and refined bouquet of fresh and fragrant fruit.
The palate is harmonious, with a clean, fruity and well-balanced, vibrant sip. Exquisite freshness and pleasant acidity thanks to the Extra Brut-style at 0 gr/l.
Food-match: a classic combination with sea-food, yet with its good structure you can also dare accompaniment such as white fish (turbot), and white meats such as delicately prepared suckling pig.
Recommended serving-temperature of 6°-8°C.
