History

The Brut Nature style emerged in Prosecco in the 2010s as producers responded to demand for drier, lower-intervention expressions. Bortolomiol's Ius Naturae (Latin: 'natural law') was one of the first dedicated zero-dosage Valdobbiadene DOCG releases, reflecting Giuliana Bortolomiol's commitment to minimal intervention.

  1. 2014: Bortolomiol releases Ius Naturae as a zero-dosage Brut Nature expression of Valdobbiadene DOCG.
