OTTAVIA SCAGLIOTTI BORTOLOMIOL
Ottavia Scagliotti left us silently, with that same elegance which for 95 years had always distinguished her life.
Arriving in Valdobbiadene in the 1950s, together with Giuliano she managed to rebuild in the post-war period an essential piece of an entire territory and with perseverance and devotion put her faith in a little project which today has become an established brand.
With tenacity and determination she was able to act as a bonding agent in difficult times and enjoy the success earned initially together with Giuliano and later with their daughters, overseeing with a firm hand the crucial, delicate and sudden generational transition and contributing to the new history of the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene.
Always Giuliano’s advisor, Ottavia and her husband were a close-knit couple who together built their greatest success, the family.
A lifetime spanning almost a century, an immense collection of milestones, of rich and satisfying moments and of handed-down values.
In the hearts of those who had the pleasure of knowing her remain the stories and testimonies of bygone times which she never tired of telling.
We will always remember her like this, a woman of different times, with her pearl necklace, her steadfastness, her smile and her soulful eyes.
Maria Elena, Elvira, Luisa, Giuliana Bortolomiol
A series of images from the past as well as more modern times reconstruct the most salient moments in the life of the Founder, from the post-war period to the launch of the winery. His Moto Guzzi, which has now been restored, can be admired in the Silk Mill room. Giuliano used the bike to travel around the territory to promote his bottles and his “wine from the hills”.
The documentary has been created to conclude the celebrations marking the 100 years since the birth of the Founder and entry is free for all visitors to the Parco della Filandetta Wine&Art Farm at the end of the guided tour and tastings.
To mark the occasion the Bortolomiol family is also extremely delighted to be able to reprint the biography “The Dream of Prosecco” published by Giunti Editore, written by Ettore Gobbato and with a foreword by Professor Attilio Scienza, which is available from the Wine Shop.

A bound cover containing memorable stories, made all the more tangible by the material form. The fact that they can be touched, browsed, seen and read makes them even more authentic. The Dream of Prosecco, by Ettore Gobbato, is re-published by Giunti in a new more in-depth edition. It tells the story of Giuliano Bortolomiol, of an authentic family, of the ups and downs of life and of a passion that has been handed down to the present time.
The new edition of the book includes a foreword by Professor Attilio Scienza who enriches the narrative, exploring a human dialogue, the relationship with nature and with the Prosecco Superiore economic district, which was yet to be developed but in which Giuliano foresaw great potential. The new edition also contains some current reflections on organic farming, sustainability and on the hills that have been awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
The roots of the book, first published in 2008, go back a long way. Luigi Veronelli, one of the leading Italian wine critics, included Giuliano Bortolomiol in his list of the “praiseworthy” figures in the “I Semi” series at the end of the 1990s, a collection devoted to the men and women who have appreciated the value of the land where they lived and worked.
The first edition, published by Luigi Veronelli Editore under the supervision of Gian Arturo Rota, brought this desire to fruition. A heritage now taken on by Giunti Editore and made known to the public at large.
The book is available in Italian and English in our Wine Shop at the Parco Della Filandetta, soon to be offered on our online eShop, and can now be purchased for Kindle and in paper copy on Amazon.

Round 2 of the RS21 Cup Yamamay too involves regattas with “zero environmental impact”, in which the construction and choice of materials for the craft, the choice of electric motors and the use of technologies that help to reduce CO2 emissions are the future in this sport.
The food and beverages were also carefully selected with the focus on sustainability: Bortolomiol had the pleasure of presenting the winner on the podium with its IUS NATURAE Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Millesimato, our “cuore Bio”, which was also served throughout the celebratory brunch.
Parco della Filandetta | Wine&Art Farm
During the second half of May, the Parco della Filandetta Wine&Art Farm will host the Portuguese artist Inês Coelho da Silva, who will be in residence for some weeks. Valuable time that the artist will use to immerse herself in the territory and the history of our winery to gain an awareness of the work undertaken by mankind here over the course of time. This commission spanning the world of wine and art will result in a new work, the product of an international vision that the artist will assimilate into her creation.
“We strongly believe in art as a cultural message that the wine can feed on” states Maria Elena Bortolomiol, President of the Winery, “and the Parco della Filandetta is the perfect place for this synergy to emerge, bringing together our environmental, social and economic sustainability projects, in a container, the Wine&Art Farm, that has put down solid roots in the heart of the Appellation”.
The work of art, which will be unveiled for the first time on 27 May, will be open to the public on 29 May for the Open Wineries event, it will then become a permanent feature of the Park, joining the existing works of art and offering visitors the opportunity to explore the content on the Art and Nature Tour, which can be booked on the website.

Bortolomiol celebrates the centenary of the birth of its founder, Giuliano.
27 February 1922 – 27 February 2022. A hundred years have passed since the birth of Giuliano Bortolomiol in Valdobbiadene, a name destined to write an important chapter in the history of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG. After attending the Conegliano School of Oenology, Giuliano decided to stay in his native land to rebuild what the war had destroyed. And to do so starting from the wine.
Among the founders of the Protection Consortium, Giuliano is the first to believe that this wine expresses itself at its best in the Brut version, with very low residual sugar, at a time when the Extra Dry and Dry versions dominate. A premonition therefore which today the winery celebrates with an equally innovative initiative, the Centenary Tour. At the Parco della Filandetta – Wine&Art Farm Bortolomiol will illustrate to wine lovers and industry professionals “the other side” of the Prosecco Superiore DOCG: that of a long living wine able to stand the test of time to become enriched with ever more complex notes. Throughout the year.
Richard Baudains, the long-standing writer for the English publication, visited the Parco della Filandetta Wine&Art Farm last summer, and tasted different vintages of our Extra Brut to fully understand the longevity of the Prosecco Superiore DOCG.
Baudains gave the highest score of 94 points to the 70th Anniversary 2020 Rive di Col San Martino Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG. Click on the link below to download and read the complete article.
