Bisol 1542 Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore “I Gondolieri” Brut Millesimato 2024 captures the spirit of modern Prosecco in a crisp, luminous style. Crafted from Glera grapes grown on the steep hills of Valdobbiadene, it offers a precise, clean and highly drinkable expression that still feels decidedly premium. This cuvée embodies an innovative vision: a contemporary interpretation of Prosecco focused on clarity, purity and sheer enjoyment, inspired by the elegance and ease of Venice’s gondoliers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Prosecco Superiore shows a pale straw-yellow hue with shimmering green reflections and a fine, persistent perlage. The nose is vibrant and inviting, with notes of white flowers, crisp green apple, Williams pear and citrus zest, framed by hints of fresh herbs and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, it is dry and linear in the Brut style, with refreshing acidity and a silky, well-knit mousse. Flavors of pear, apple, lemon and a touch of white peach unfold with impressive precision, finishing clean and mouthwatering with a delicate almond and saline lift that is typical of Valdobbiadene. Enjoyed now, it offers maximum freshness and purity, but it will hold its charm for 1–2 years, retaining its brightness and aromatic finesse.

Production
The grapes for I Gondolieri come from the hills of Valdobbiadene in Veneto, a UNESCO-recognized landscape of steep, hand-worked vineyards rooted in well-drained, mineral-rich soils. The climate here is cool yet sunny, allowing Glera to ripen slowly and preserve its natural acidity and delicate aromatics. Harvest is carried out by hand to ensure only the healthiest, perfectly ripe bunches are selected. In the cellar, Bisol employs temperature-controlled fermentation to capture the grape’s floral and fruity character, followed by the Martinotti/Charmat method for the secondary fermentation in pressurized tanks. This careful, modern vinification yields a Prosecco that is exceptionally clean, consistent and expressive of its origin.

Food & Serving
This Brut Prosecco Superiore is a natural aperitif and a versatile table companion. Pair it with Venetian cicchetti, seafood antipasti, oysters, shrimp, sushi, light fish dishes, fresh goat cheese, vegetable tempura or delicate salads. It also works beautifully with lightly spiced Asian cuisine and prosciutto with melon. Serve well-chilled at 6–8°C (43–46°F). Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour, allowing a few minutes in the glass for the aromas to fully unfold.
