Bortolomiol Miòl Prosecco DOC Treviso Extra Dry 2022

This Bortolomiol Miòl represents the new wave of premium Prosecco craftsmanship, featuring unusually low yields that create exceptional concentration and complexity. Unlike mass-produced Prosecco, it blends traditional glera with chardonnay and verdiso grapes, resulting in fine bubbles, vivid aromatics, and distinctive savoury minerality. The winery's sustainable practices and recognition by Australia's leading sparkling wine critic Tyson Stelzer further distinguish it from commercial offerings.

The addition of chardonnay brings structure, elegance and enhanced aging potential to the traditional glera base, while verdiso contributes aromatic complexity and acidity. This blend reflects the innovative approach of premium Prosecco producers who are moving beyond single-varietal wines to create more sophisticated expressions. The combination results in greater depth and a savoury mineral character that sets it apart from standard glera-only Proseccos.

In Prosecco classification, 'extra dry' actually contains more residual sugar than 'brut', typically 12-17 grams per litre, making it slightly off-dry rather than bone dry. This sweetness level perfectly balances the wine's natural acidity and enhances the citrus and green apple flavours. The style is particularly food-friendly and appeals to those who find brut Prosecco too austere, offering a rounder, more approachable palate.

Serve well-chilled at 6-8°C in flute or tulip glasses to preserve the fine bead and concentrate the citrusy aromatics. The wine's savoury minerality and light body make it excellent with antipasti, seafood, or creamy pasta dishes, while the citrus notes complement Asian cuisine beautifully. Its cleansing finish also makes it perfect as an aperitif or with light desserts featuring stone fruits.

Prosecco DOC Treviso indicates the grapes were grown specifically in the Treviso province, one of the most prestigious areas within the broader Prosecco DOC zone. This designation ensures strict quality controls and traditional winemaking methods, with Treviso's particular terroir contributing to the wine's distinctive mineral character. The region's ideal climate and soil conditions, combined with Bortolomiol's low-yield philosophy, create the concentration and precision that define this exceptional bottling.
