GIULIANO BORTOLOMIOL
|
Following in his father’s footsteps with a natural gift for wine making, Giuliano Bortolomiol decided to enrol at the prestigious Conegliano Wine School (Scuola di Enologia di Conegliano).
In the years immediately following the Second World War the sight of the abandoned vines across his beloved hillsides instilled in him the passionate desire to bring the vines back. He saw the potential of this simple, local wine and was determined to make Prosecco into the prestigious sparkling wine it is today, famous throughout Italy and
|
across the world. For this reason he was among the founders of the Prosecco Wine Fraternity (Confraternità del Prosecco) in 1946 and, later, of the National Sparkling Wine Exhibition (Mostra Nazionale degli Spumanti, now known as Forum Spumanti d’Italia) in 1962. Master of the Martinotti-Charmat method and great, intuitive experimenter that he was, Giuliano created the first Prosecco Brut in 1960. |
