“Ponteggio”. This is the name of the hamlet where Giuliano Bortolomiol was born and where one can still see the old house he grew up in. It’s called Ponteggio because the rafts which came down the Piave on their way to Venice docked here at small wooden piers, or ponteggi in Italian. Prosecco is a wine for every day, not just special occasions and this fresh, light slightly sparkling wine is perfect with the traditional, simple foods from Valdobbiadene.

A delightful combination of freshness, immediacy and simplicity is the main characteristic of this wine. Semi-sparkling with less carbon dioxide, this is the favoured wine for osterias where it is often consumed in large quantities. Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with cold cuts, especially sopressa for which Valdobbiadene is justly famous. The freshness and pleasing sweet tones of the wine are the perfect counterpoint to these extraordinarily tasty, fatty meats. (Tasting & text by Michele Bressan)
