With Alessandro, it started differently than with the others: we didn't run into each other in a shop or on top of a hill, but on Instagram. It was a single like — but enough to put the cellar on our radar, and then to go and visit in person, in Santo Stefano.
The view is the thing that stays with you. There's a tree on the hillside with a bench under it, looking out to the valley on one side and the Dolomites on the other. Exactly the kind of spot where you want to sit a while with a glass of Prosecco.
It's where we realised how well dry Prosecco goes with baked things — Venetian focaccia, panettone. And it's where we first tasted a Cartizze dry and a DOCG dry one after the other, the same afternoon. The two vineyards grow barely 200 metres apart, yet the difference in the glass is easy to taste.
In their words
"I Bortolin, a surname widely diffused in the Santo Stefano territories. All descendants of that Bortolo of which nothing is known."
— Alessandro Bortolin, Valdobbiadene
