Cantine Umberto Bortolotti

Cantine Bortolotti winery

The Bortolotti family has carefully selected a group of viticulturists within the Valdobbiadene appellation over the years, so that only grapes of the highest quality are vinified - all farmers practice organic methods of viticulture.

 

The consortium of the appellation releases an agronomical bulletin to inform the viticulturists regarding the danger of diseases/ pests. Only organic fertilizers, copper and sulfur-based products are used for insect and disease control.

 

In the majority of the vineyards, natural cover crops (grass cover) are left between the rows of vines to aid fertilization. SO2 is used within the limits of the Italian regulation to preserve the wines.
