Codice Bortolotti Nosiola 4-84

Winery founded in 1947 by Umberto Bortolotti driven by an entrepreneurial enthusiasm linked to his land. Now the winery is expertly managed by Bruno and Daniele Bortolotti who follow with seriousness and wisdom in the footsteps of the founder. The winery is located in the Valdobbiadene territory between the Alps and Venice. The Umberto Bortolotti Winery is mentioned among the best producers of Valdobbiadene prosecco for the elegance of the wines and for knowing how to enhance the Glera grape. The pinnacle of the Bortolotti family project is the line of VSQ Codice Bortolotti sparkling wines that represent the challenge and expertise in producing sparkling wines with the charmat method but which have the character, elegance, structure and importance of a classic method.

Codice Bortolotti Nosiola 4-84 is a 2016 Extra Brut Quality Sparkling Wine, a true jewel of the Umberto Bortolotti winery that celebrates the native Nosiola grape variety. Its grapes, grown on clay soils at about 200 meters above sea level, were carefully harvested in the first week of September 2016. The name "4-84" is the key to its identity and philosophy: "4" indicates the months of fermentation and rest on the yeasts that give it structure, while "84" reveals the exceptional period of refinement in the bottle, a seven-year journey that will culminate with the release on the market in April 2025. This long rest is essential to develop the complexity and elegance that distinguish it. Its production is limited, with only 4,920 750ml bottles and 484 1500ml magnums, a testament to the attention and artisanal care dedicated to each individual bubble. "We took the time we wanted. Take yours to get to know it," says the winery, inviting a conscious tasting.

Codice Bortolotti Nosiola 4-84 has a bright straw yellow color, enhanced by a very fine and persistent perlage that slowly disperses in the glass. On the nose, the long evolution on the yeasts and in the bottle manifests itself in an enveloping and complex bouquet. Intense aromas of dried fruit emerge, such as almond and toasted hazelnut, accompanied by elegant notes of ripe tropical fruit (pineapple, passion fruit) and candied citrus hints. The whole is enriched by mineral nuances and a subtle perception of bread crust. In the mouth it is a sensation of uniqueness and enveloping warmth, balanced by a pleasant acidity that refreshes the sip and gives a marked flavor. The Extra Brut reveals itself in its fullness, with an important but balanced structure. The finish is long, persistent and harmonious, inviting a sensorial meditation. "It is good manners to converse with it in private while respecting its elegance, avoiding the crowd of culinary sensations." Perfect with white fish tartare or shellfish such as scampi and shrimp, scallop carpaccio or delicate goose liver pâté. It pairs splendidly with baked or grilled noble fish preparations, such as turbot, sea bass or John Dory, perhaps with light sauces based on butter or aromatic herbs. Excellent with medium or long-aged hard cheeses, such as Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano or slightly salty Pecorino, where its acidity and complexity create a harmonious contrast. It can also accompany simply prepared white meats, such as baked chicken with herbs or lightly stewed rabbit. Given its complexity and long refinement, it is an excellent wine to be enjoyed alone, in a moment of relaxation and intimate conversation, to appreciate every nuance.
