With cheese
Casatella Trevigiana
Local tradition Qualigeo says Casatella goes well with white and sparkling wines such as Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco. The cheese is soft, sweet and milky, and a dry Valdobbiadene's acidity and fine bubbles cut the creaminess between bites.
Montasio
Local tradition Qualigeo lists Prosecco DOP among the wines of the Montasio zone that it is paired with. Young Montasio is milky and soft; a dry Prosecco's acidity and bubbles lift that richness and leave the mouth clean.
Schiz
Our pick Schiz is browned in butter, finished with cream and eaten with polenta. A dry Valdobbiadene brings acidity and fine bubbles that cut the butter and cream and leave the plain milk flavour clear.

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