Prior is a testament to Bortolomiol's commitment to excellence, showcasing the full potential of the Glera grape. This is a Brut Prosecco which reveals a symphony of aromas, starting with delicate floral notes of acacia and wisteria, followed by refreshing fruity hints of green apple, pear, and citrus. The palate is crisp and vibrant, with a fine, persistent perlage that enhances the wine's overall elegance. Its balanced acidity and dry finish make it an ideal aperitif or a delightful companion to a wide range of dishes.
This Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG is particularly well-suited to light appetizers, seafood, and salads. Its refreshing acidity cuts through the richness of fried foods, while its delicate fruitiness complements the flavors of fresh fish and shellfish. Try pairing it with a classic Italian dish like spaghetti alle vongole, or with a platter of fresh oysters. It is an excellent match for sushi and sashimi, enhancing the delicate flavors of raw fish.
Beyond its exceptional taste, Bortolomiol Prior Millesimato represents the unique terroir of the Valdobbiadene region. The steep, sun-drenched hillsides and calcareous soils contribute to the Glera grape's distinctive aromatic profile and crisp acidity.
