Bottega Space at The Grand Hotel  Savoia in  Cortina

The Grand Hotel Savoia in Cortina d’Ampezzo, which is part of the exclusive Radisson Collection hotel selection, is a 5-star facility of great charm, made unique by the breath-taking panoramic view over the Ampezzo Dolomites.

In this elegant and refined setting, Bottega has customized the large terrace, where they celebrate the ritual of the aperitif or lunch, admiring the profile of the most spectacular mountains in the Alps.

The logo of the Treviso-based winery and distillery characterizes the counter, where the barmen prepare signature cocktails and serve glasses of Prosecco Gold or other sparkling wines from the Bottega collection. The assortment includes Gin Bacur, white and barrique grappas, Limoncino and cream-based liqueurs, to satisfy the taste of every consumer.

The presence on the terrace of the Grand Hotel Savoia, one month after the inauguration of the Bottega space at the Bokan hotel in London, enriches the range of exclusive locations that in Italy and in the world have chosen to collaborate with the winery and distillery from Bibano di Godega (TV).

Bottega 

The Bottega company, led by Barbara, Sandro, and Stefano Bottega, is both a winery and a distillery. Founded in 1977 by Aldo Bottega with the name Distilleria Bottega, the company is based in Bibano di Godega (TV), 50 km north of Venice, where it produces grappas, wines, and liqueurs for the high and medium-high market.

Among the grappas, sold under the Alexander and Bottega brands, stand out the fine selections of single-grape varieties and distillates aged in barriques.

The range of Bottega wines features Prosecco, including the well-known Bottega Gold, and other sparkling wines of great character. In two direct management wineries, in Valpolicella and Montalcino, the company produces Amarone, Ripasso, Brunello di Montalcino, and other great reds. The Bottega offer is completed by the Creams & Liquors line, which features an extensive range of fruit liqueurs and creams, including Limoncino, Gianduia, and Pistacchio. The Bottega company distributes its products in 150 countries around the world.

THE  100  PROSECCO RECIPES BY SANDRO BOTTEGA

The book   “The 100 Prosecco Recipes” by Sandro Bottega was published in English version last November. The 192-page book, published by Mondadori, is a journey through the Prosecco hills, a Unesco World Heritage Site (Italy, Veneto Region, 50 km north of Venice), where tradition, research and authenticity come together in the name of taste.

This is a collection of recipes, from aperitifs to desserts, accompanied by many stories and curiosities. The culinary tradition of this area has been able to combine what nature spontaneously offers with the products of agriculture and animal husbandry, giving life to a creative cuisine made up of combinations of flavours and fragrances and new cooking methods, always in the name of simplicity and genuineness. Proud of his land’s food and wine, landscape, technology and artistic heritage, Sandro Bottega wanted to pay homage to the straightforward, hard-working people who live there and who have created and preserve its culture.

Sandro Bottega

Sandro Bottega was born in 1963 and from an early age followed in his father’s footsteps, working in the family distillery. When his father died when he was  19, he left his university studies and began to run the small family business himself, transforming it in just a few years, together with his mother and brothers, into one of the leaders in the grappa and prosecco market. While working incessantly and travelling equally, he cultivated his passion for culture and food and wine. After writing 6 books on the subject, he opened 20 restaurants around the world, which he calls Bottega Prosecco Bar, dedicated to both Veneto and Italian cuisine. He is passionate about authenticity, nature and technique, especially in relation to his own territory, where for 4 centuries his ancestors have cultivated land and produced wine.
