Bottega, a winery with a rich history. In the 1970s, Aldo Bottega founded a distillery specializing in Grappa. Until 1992, the family business made a name for itself producing this authentic Italian distillate. In 1992, the winery was introduced within the company, and Vino dei Poëti became the company's first sparkling wine. The beautiful family business, currently headed by Sandro Bottega, has its wine production in Treviso. Here, we find the magnificent modern winery where the finest sparkling wines are made. Bottega has a specific vision for producing these wines. Sandro strives to preserve nature as much as possible, so they invest heavily in recycling, purification, generate their own energy, and even use a special paint for their signature gold and silver bottles.
Why buy Vino Dell Amore?
We travel to the vineyards for this delicious and sweet Moscato from Bottega, located in the hills of Conegliano, halfway between Venice and the Dolomites. This beautiful region is ideal for growing the Moscato grape, characterized by its abundance of water and spacious vineyards. However, Moscato grapes do require a lot of attention. This grape thrives in heat and sun, requiring extensive pruning in the vineyards. Nighttime cooling is also essential to prevent the grapes from ripening too quickly. Well, leave that to Sandro Bottega and his winemaking team; they know exactly what these Moscato grapes need. When the grapes reach the right ripeness, they are hand-picked. This allows for a strict selection of the fruit that will end up in this romantic bottle.

The taste of this Bottega
So, how does this gem taste? Let's start by uncorking the bottle. With a lovely soft "sigh," the bottle is finally open. Once poured into the glass, we see a beautiful straw-yellow wine with lovely, fine bubbles. These swirl gracefully through the glass. Nosing the glass, we noted delightful floral aromas, dominated by rose, peach, apricot, and a pleasant freshness. The lychee flavor is striking, coming through beautifully. The taste of this Vino dell'Amore is phenomenal. A nice dose of sweetness without being too strong, making this wine drinkable for many wine lovers. The flavor nuances of rose, ripe tropical fruit, and a hint of citrus dance on the tongue. The fine mousse creates a pleasant mouthfeel. The wonderfully mild and pleasantly sweet finish completes this sparkling wine from Bottega.
