Quality wines from Velarino Salento
The Italian family business Botter was founded in 1928 by Carlo Botter in the village of Fossalta di Piave near Venice. They now own vineyards in all the major regions of Italy and, through them, also market the Velarino brand from Puglia. In 1993, they decided to expand their portfolio with vineyards in other regions, investing heavily in a new winery. Their success has been unprecedented, and Botter wines are enjoyed with great pleasure in many countries. The grapes are planted in the heel of the Italian boot, in Puglia to be precise. Here, they enjoy high temperatures, resulting in a very full-bodied wine with fruity notes. The soil, composed of clay and limestone, provides a fertile base. At optimal ripeness, the grapes are harvested mechanically and picked by hand. In the winery, they are then crushed and destemmed, after which the maceration and fermentation process can begin. Regular punch-downs are performed during these processes to further enhance the color and tannins. After fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks.
