Senior

頂級半乾有氣葡萄酒
單一年份葡萄
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG - millesimato
EXTRA DRY

"Senior"是優秀的頂級意大利有氣葡萄酒。 在很長一段時間內, 意大利有氣葡萄酒（Prosecco）都是在自然甜味上加多少殘留糖分的半乾甜度, 如今, 波爾托羅米歐在其傳統系列中具有四個基於甜度而分的版本的頂級意大利有氣葡萄酒, 瓶頂上的数字“ II”表示這是甜度上的第二個等級。 之所以稱為"Senior", 是因為它是最先出現。

The Senior is the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG par excellence. Its Latin name is as clear to everyone around the world as the name Prosecco. For some and for a long time the sparkling Prosecco couldn’t be anything more than extra dry for its natural sweetness and sugar residue. Now that Bortolomiol have four versions of Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Docg in their traditional line, the number “II” on the capsule signifies that this is the second on the scale between the driest and softest. It’s called Senior because it was the first.

殘餘糖分量恰到好處而得到其極佳平衡, 令人愉悅的香味賦予這款葡萄酒柔和的適應性。 無論跟朋友在酒吧暢飲或當作開胃酒, 這都是一款適合的葡萄酒。 但更加可以在廚房裡發出光芒。 與蔬菜湯和炸羊的大腦完美地搭配, 一方面殘餘糖的甜度相當匹配, 另一方面新鮮度和泡沫平衡了脂肪的油膩感。
（Michele Bressan品嚐後撰寫）

Its finely balanced sugar residue and embracing fragrances give this wine softness and great adaptability. This is a wine for all occasions, from a drink at the bar with friends to an aperitif. But it is in the kitchen that it really shines. Perfect with vegetable soups and fried sheep’s brain, where on the one hand the sugar residue matches the sweetness of the dish and on the other the freshness and well-controlled mousse balances the fatty flavors.
(Tasting & text by Michele Bressan)

在2009年之前, 普羅塞克(Prosecco)是葡萄品種的名稱, 可以在世界任何地方種植。 自十六世紀以来, 在悠久的傳統和合適暴環境和土壤成分條件下, 普羅塞克起泡酒就開始 在科內利亞諾(Conegliano)和瓦爾多比亞徳訥(Valdobiadene)之間的山丘上被釀造, 並由西瑪·科內利亞諾的繪畫作為認證。 事實上, 在這個區域, 該品種的葡萄表現始終最佳, 正是従這裡開始發展出世界公認的質量。

洞察力加上走得更遠的決心将普羅塞克起泡酒釀造推到現在的水平。 戰後被遺棄的葡萄園得到了修建, 這要帰功於Giuliano Bortolomiol之類的人， 他們相信這種葡萄酒和缸槽二次發酵法(charmat-martinotti), 能彰顕葡萄基本特徵。 科內利亞諾釀酒學校(Scuola Enologica di Conegliano)在普羅塞克起泡酒的發展上有著重要性, 它已經培養了超過一個世紀的行業人才。

1969年, Prosecco Conegliano Valdobbiadene獲得了原産地標記。 DOC認證階段是邁向質量的重要一步。 40年後的2009年, 普羅塞克起泡酒起源地區包括15個直轄市 (Conegliano, Susegana, San Vendemiano, Colle Umberto, Vittorio Veneto, Cison di Valmarino, San Pietro di Feletto, Refrontolo, Pieve di Soligo, Farra di Soligo, Miane, Vidor, Follina, Tarzo和Valdobbiadene） 被確認為DOCG, 這些地區生産的Prosecco可被稱為“Superiore”。

今天, 意大利北部的9個省-特雷維索, 貝盧諾, 帕多瓦, 維琴察, 威尼斯 的里雅斯特, 烏迪內, 戈里齊亞和波代諾內-出産Prosecco DOC, 但當中只有擁有5000公頃面積葡萄園的科內利亞諾瓦爾多比亞徳內山丘(the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene)出 産Prosecco Superiore DOCG。而蒙特洛(Montello)和阿索拉山(Asola)的所出産的Prosecco具有“Guaranteed”的稱號, 同是也具有“Superiore”的稱號。

如今, Prosecco已不再是葡萄品種的名稱, 而是已成為葡萄酒的一個専門領域。而其使用葡萄品種稱為“glera”。

Until 2009, “Prosecco” was the name of a variety and as such could be cultivated in any part of the world. The Prosecco made in the hills between Conegliano and Valdobiadene, certified by the paintings of Cima da Conegliano since the XVI century, boasts not only a long tradition but also particularly suitable exposure and soil composition conditions. It is in fact in this area that the variety has always performed at its best and it is from here that the universally recognized quality has developed, the cutting edge of which is Superiore di Cartizze.

But insight, determination and a long journey have brought it this far. The vineyards abandoned after the war were recovered bit by bit thanks to men like Giuliano Bortolomiol who believed in this wine and in the charmat-martinotti method, exalting its basic characteristics. Hence the importance of the Scuola Enologica di Conegliano (Conegliano Wine-Making School) which has been training talents for the industry for over a century.

In 1969, Prosecco Conegliano Valdobbiadene obtained controlled designation of origin. The DOC stage was an important step towards quality. 40 years later, in 2009, the area of origin including 15 municipalities (Conegliano, Susegana, San Vendemiano, Colle Umberto, Vittorio Veneto, Cison di Valmarino, San Pietro di Feletto, Refrontolo, Pieve di Soligo, Farra di Soligo, Miane, Vidor, Follina, Tarzo, Valdobbiadene) was recognized as DOCG, and the Prosecco produced in the area was nominated “Superiore”.

Today, 9 provinces in northern Italy – Treviso, Belluno, Padua, Vicenza, Venice, Trieste, Udine, Gorizia and Pordenone – produce Prosecco DOC, but only the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, with its historical area counting sum 5000 hectares of vineyards, produce Prosecco Superiore DOCG. The Prosecco of Montello and of the Asola hills has “Guaranteed” designation and is “Superiore” too.

Today Prosecco is no longer the name of a grape variety but has become a dedicated area. And the variety has been given its original name: “glera”.

起源
THE ORIGINS

Bartolomeo Bortolomiol家族的存在可追溯到18世紀中葉的文件證明, 是今天的家族的名字的由来。 Bartolomeo一生都在Valdobbiadene的山上種葡萄。 他把自己對土地的熱愛以及他従土地獲得最大收益的能力傳授給他的後代。 今天酒莊的創始人Giuliano Bortolomiol亦得其真傳。

他一生都致力於Prosecco原産地和質量認證的未来。 另一方面, 創始人的女兒Maria Elena, Elvira, Luisa和Giuliana則各自承擔了這一使命, 並與母親Ottavia一起投入了資源和精力来確保産品質量並保持公司與土地及其歴史的緊密联繋 。

Documents dating back to the mid-18th century certify the existence of Bartolomeo Bortolomiol, the forebear from whom today’s family takes its name and whose trade it has plied for generations. Bartolomeo spent his life growing grapes on the hills of Valdobbiadene. Passing his love of the land and his ability to obtain the best from it on to his descendants. His lessons were well learnt by Giuliano Bortolomiol, the founder of today’s sparkling wine company.

He has always believed in the quality and future of designation of origin Prosecco to which he has dedicated his whole life. In turn, the founder’s daughters, Maria Elena, Elvira, Luisa and Giuliana have made this mission their own and, together with their mother Ottavia, have invested resources and energy in ensuring product quality and maintaining the company’s strong links with the land and its history.
