Botter, Veneto, Prosecco

Botter is one of Veneto's largest and longest-established family-owned wine companies, founded in 1928 and still run by the third generation of the family. While best known for producing wines from across Italy, the estate has deep roots in the Veneto and long-standing relationships with growers throughout the region's Prosecco-producing hills and plains.

Made primarily from Glera, this Prosecco delivers the fresh orchard fruit and floral character that have made the style so popular, with notes of green apple, pear, citrus, and white flowers. The cool influences that flow down from the Alps help preserve acidity, while the Charmat method—where the second fermentation takes place in tank rather than bottle—emphasizes freshness, bright fruit, and a soft, approachable mousse. Easygoing and versatile, this is the kind of bottle that shines as an aperitif, at brunch, or alongside light appetizers when the goal is refreshment rather than contemplation.
