With a festive bottle decorated with wildflowers conceived by a famous Italian designer, Valdo winery, located in the Italian wine-growing region of Valdobbiadene in the Veneto region, captures the spirit of summer in a bottle with Valdo Floral Rose Brut ($19).
The captivating bottle is the fourth edition by Valdo. Commissioned to Italian designer Fabrizio Sciavi, it rediscovers a new sense of well-being by reconnecting with nature. What’s inside the bottle, is no less a tribute to Valdo and the land from which it comes.
A blend of native Italian grape varieties; Glera, the white grape traditionally used in the making of Prosecco and the native red variety Nerello Mascalese, known to thrive in the warm maritime climate of Sicily, Valdo is a skillful blend that create a rose with intense fruit flavors and a floral bouquet.
With its refreshing taste, low alcohol content and exuberant bubbles, it is a perfect summer drink that can be enjoyed at any time of day and with any type of meal. Celebrate or enjoy a relaxing afternoon with just a glass of Valdo Floral Rose Brut alone, or enjoy it with a selection of soft cheeses and a platter of fresh fruit. Smoked salmon with capers and lemon wedges or Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail, crisp endive salad or spicy Sushi Rolls, are soothing summer brunch delights made even more flavorful with Valdo.
The history of Valdo is a tale of passion for wine, the land, and the art of wine making. With family traditions that date back more than a century, Valdo continues to be intertwined with the story of the Bolla family and its passion for wine and the entrepreneurial spirit that spans three generations.
It all began in 1883 when Abele Bolla, the owner of a tavern in Soave in the province of Verona, decided to produce a wine that would grace the tables of the best restaurants in Venice and Milan. In 1926, a group of local businessmen in Valdobbiadene then decided to join together to found the Societa Anonima Vini Superiori, a winery solely dedicated to the production of Prosecco. Thus, a legend began.
The passion for Italian sparkling wine has become insatiable! Let your imagination soar. The possibilities are endless with its light, refreshing profile. The distinctive bottle will make a lovely centerpiece for your garden table long after the bubbles and the effervescent flavor has faded into memory. For more, visit us.valdo.com.
