Valdo: A Legacy of Excellence in Sparkling Wines

Matteo Bolla, the Business Development Manager for Valdo USA, Inc., represents the third generation of the Bolla family. His mission is to further elevate the presence of Valdo and expand its acceptance in the US market. With meticulously crafted wines made from carefully selected grapes from the region's most prestigious areas, his task becomes effortless.

Founded in 1926 by Societa Anonima Vini Superiori, Valdo was acquired by the Bolla family in 1938, marking the beginning of an ongoing pursuit of excellence that continues to this day.

"Valdo" is a shortened version of Valdobbiadene, the name of the region. Sergio Bolla wanted to make Prosecco more accessible and easily understandable, hence the decision to simplify the name to Valdo, ensuring easy recognition and memorability.

Sergio took Valdo to new heights by exploring innovative production methods and setting higher standards. He became an ambassador, increasing awareness of Valdo and Prosecco around the world.

The hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene are a highly significant wine-growing area, home to over 700 agricultural estates and wineries, with approximately 150 being members of the Consortium for the Protection of Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG. The name "Valdo" originates from the beautiful hills of Valdobbiadene, located in the Veneto region, which have been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for their renowned production of elegant and refined sparkling wines.

The steepness of the hills necessitates manual labor for all tasks. No harvesting machinery can conquer their heights. Valdo refers to its grape growers as "heroic viticulturists."

The most expensive Prosecco originates from the highest elevation. Cartizze, situated at the pinnacle of the Prosecco Superiore DOCG quality pyramid, represents the highest and steepest point in the Valdobbiadene region.

Valdo ensures the production of top-quality sparkling wines by controlling the entire process from the vineyard to the bottle. The results are evident in every glass.

Valdo has also embraced environmental sustainability as a core theme. Every aspect of production is designed to protect the planet for future generations. The installation of a new photovoltaic system at one of the production sites will cover 70% of the company's energy needs for the year.

Valdo Prosecco: Sparkling Elegance from the Heart of Italy

Prosecco is primarily made from the Glera grape, native to Valdobbiadene. By law, 85% of the wine must be made from Glera grapes, while the remaining blend can include indigenous local grapes like Bianchetta or international grapes like Chardonnay.

Valdo Prosecco Cuvée 1926 Extra Dry Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG is a captivating sparkling wine that pays homage to Valdo's rich history and expertise. Named after the year of the winery's foundation, this exquisite Prosecco represents a true celebration of tradition and craftsmanship.

The careful selection of grapes from the most prestigious vineyards in Valdobbiadene ensures that only the finest fruit is used in the production of this exceptional cuvée. The Glera grapes, indigenous to the region, contribute their distinctive character and vibrant flavors to the blend, while the meticulous winemaking process preserves their natural essence.

Valdo Prosecco Cuvée 1926 Extra Dry delights the senses with its pale straw-yellow color and fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, it reveals a bouquet of delicate floral notes, ripe apple, pear, and hints of citrus, creating an enchanting olfactory experience.

The palate of this Valdo sparkling wine is greeted with a harmonious fusion of flavors, where the crispness and lively acidity are perfectly balanced by the wine's subtle sweetness. The creamy mousse and velvety texture add depth and elegance, making each sip a true pleasure.

Prosecco Valdobbiadene Cuvée del Fondatore Millesimato Brut is an extraordinary Valdo sparkling wine that embodies the visionary spirit of Sergio Bolla, the founder of the company. This prestigious cuvée is crafted using a special second fermentation technique, with a portion of the wine refined in French oak casks, adding a unique touch to its character.

The perlage of this Valdo Prosecco Brut is both rich and fine, with delicate bubbles that dance on the palate, creating a delightful sensory experience. Its straw yellow color is enhanced by golden reflections, radiating elegance and sophistication.

On the nose, the bouquet reveals enticing aromas of ripe fruits, including hints of banana and hazelnut. Subtle notes of vanilla and a delicate scent of honey add depth and complexity to the aromatic profile.

When it comes to flavor, Valdo Prosecco Valdobbiadene Cuvée del Fondatore Millesimato Brut impresses with its full-bodied, harmonious, and velvety taste. Valdo Prosecco Brut exhibits a defined personality, where the fruity fragrances intertwine seamlessly with the spicy barrique aromas from the oak refinement.

Among Valdo sparkling wines, one can find the remarkable Valdo Spumante Paradise Edition Rosé Brut, sourced from both northern Veneto and southern Sicily, bringing together indigenous wines from the two ends of Italy.

It is a harmonious blend of Nerello Mascalese, an indigenous grape variety from Sicily, and traditional Glera from the Veneto region. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested and undergo three months of refinement using the Martinotti/Charmat method in large pressurized and temperature-controlled autoclaves. This is followed by an additional two months of aging in the bottle.

The result is a Valdo sparkling wine that exudes freshness and elegance, with enchanting floral aromas and pronounced flavors of raspberries and wild strawberries. It tantalizes the palate with its juicy and delightful profile, making it the ideal companion for summer celebrations.

Inside the bottle lies a tribute to the skill and expertise of winemaker Gianfranco Zanon. The stunning floral design adorning the colorful bottle pays homage to the world of flowers and the untamed beauty that characterizes the UNESCO-protected area of Valdobbiadene. Once Valdo Rosé Brut is savored, the bottle itself becomes a lovely decorative keepsake, preserving the memories of a delightful experience.
