GRAN PASSIONE - Rouge 2020
Casa Vinicola Botter was founded by Carlo Botter and his wife Maria in 1928, in Fossalta di Piave, a small town in Veneto, Italy. It started off as a small business selling local wines in barrels and demijohns. In the 1960s, the two sons Arnaldo and Enzo joined the company and began to sell wine in bottles. They boosted the company’s presence on the Italian market and gave life to a gradual process of expansion throughout other countries. The third generation composed of Luca, Annalisa and Alessandro Botter is now managing the company with responsible ethical and environmental behaviour standards. Today, Botter is one of the largest producers and exporters of Italian wines: 1 out of 35 bottles of Italian wine exported to the world is produced by Botter.
The Gran Passione Rosso is made from Merlot and Corvina grown in Veneto. The grapes are harvested slightly overripe, then destemmed and vinified with approximatively 15 days of maceration to extract colour and tannin structure. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occur in barrels.
Grape varieties: Merlot, Corvina
