After the accurate hand harvest, grapes are pressed and the fermentation starts; the skins are left in the must for a long period to extract flavours and the characteristic thick deep red colour.
Traditional red wine vinification at a controlled temperature between 25 and 27°C.

About the Producer

Botter headquarters are a few kilometres from Venice, in Fossalta di Piave, where the Company was founded.

They say that a good wine needs time to reveal its qualities, but it also needs dedication and constant commitment.

It was established in 1928 by wine merchant Carlo Botter a small business selling cask wines from the Veneto region. After the Second World War, Carlo's sons, Arnaldo and Enzo expanded the company and began selling bottled wine. Soon, "Botter" took the leading position in the Italian market and started selling globally.

In 70s, Botter family opened its own production in Motta di Livenza, near Treviso. In 2011,  a new distillery in Divichi, specializing in the production of organic products.

Today, the company owns vineyards in the North and the South of Italy, Sicily, Veneto and Puglia. Wines from Botte regularly receive prestigious awards, notably the gold medal Gilbert& Gailard, Vinalies Internationales, China Wine & Spirits Awards, Concurs Mondial de Bruxelles, Berliner wine Trophy and Mundus Vini.
