Relio

Valdobbiadene Prosecco
Superiore D.O.C.G.

Extra brut

The cool soil lends the grapes an unmistakeable acidity which, combined with a pronounced minerality, make this Prosecco Superiore a masterpiece of balance and freshness.

Enter The Terroir

The standard bearer for the quality of Bisol Prosecco Superiore. It is named after a man who dedicated his entire life to this area: Aurelio Bisol, who was known affectionately as “Relio”.

In his honour, we have selected grapes from our finest vineyards on the steepest slopes, where cultivation and harvesting has to be carried out by hand, demanding all of the tenacity and passion of what is known in Italy as “heroic viticulture”.

  • Grapes: min. 85% Glera.
  • Appearance: straw yellow with light flecks of green, embellished by a fine, but rich and persistent, perlage.
  • In the mouth: the balance of softness, richness of flavour, and acidity adds to the overall sense of elegance. The finish is persistent and pleasantly fresh.
  • On the nose: intense, enveloping, and lively, with a precise, harmonious blend of floral notes and fruit.
  • Alcohol content 11,5% vol.

Il Savoir-faire di Bisol

A question of glass

To enjoy the full, rich bouquet of this wine, the ideal glass would be a cross between a flute and a tulip glass, which gives a more generous "chamber" in which to savour the aromas.

Keeping it cool

Prosecco Superiore is best enjoyed at a temperature between 6°C and 8°C. One way to achieve this is to place the bottle in a bucket filled half way with water and ice. As the wine gently warms in the glass, it "opens up" to reveal its aromatic qualities.

Prosecco rests better standing up

A bottle of Prosecco Superiore is best stored in a cool, dark, dry environment with a steady temperature between 12°C and 15°C. For the first year, it is best to store the bottle vertically, after which it can be kept horizontal to help the flavours to develop.

Sparkling spirit

How many bubbles are there in a glass of prosecco? A million! This is the conclusion of the first scientific study on the question, which was carried out by Gérard Liger-Belair and published in the peer-reviewed publication The Journal of Physical Chemistry B.

A question of age

Prosecco Superiore should be enjoyed young. It best expresses its qualities between 12 and 24 months after bottling. The fruity, perfumed flavours of the younger wine develop with time, ripening and becoming more evidently vinous.
