Bortolomiol

The name Bortolomiol is, objectively, an integral part of the history of Prosecco. Already in the 18th century we find evidence of Bartolomeo Bortolomiol, the ancestor who first started making wines and believing in the territory. His example arrived intact until the mid-20th century, when Giuliano Bortolomiol, founder of the current sparkling wine company, started from scratch, believing in the quality and future of Prosecco . Immediately after the war, the sight of the abandoned vineyards led him to develop the awareness of having a mission to accomplish and then to share: the rebirth of the vineyards and above all the revaluation of Prosecco at a national level. Among the founders of the Confraternita del Prosecco in 1946 and, later, of the Mostra dello Spumante (now the Forum Spumanti d'Italia), Giuliano Bortolomiol was also an experimenter of the Martinotti-Charmat method, being the first to create the Prosecco brut (tradition dictates it in the version softer, i.e. ExtraDry). Today his dream has come true and Prosecco, after obtaining the DOCG denomination, has become an internationally appreciated wine. The generational change brought about an absolute novelty: today Giuliano's 4 daughters manage the company; a change that is also far from the tradition of the "male" winemaker, but of great effectiveness and innovation: the commitment of the Bortolomiol women is in fact aimed not only at proudly affirming a feminine vision of work, but above all at bringing a new femininity into the world of wine, which for Bortolomiol women means first of all greater sensitivity towards the territory. From conscious and sustainable agriculture projects, to attention to the entire production chain, femininity has become part of the daily work in the company, to the point of extending to other realities.
