A Prosecco Superiore of People, Place and Time
Desiderio"Jeio" Bisol recognized the hills of Valdobbiadene had different terroirs and sought to capture their diversity and uniqueness. Today, his grandsons Desiderio, Chief Enologist & Technical Director and Gianluca, President & CEO are on a mission to showcase the excellence of their site and terroir driven Prosecco Superiore. All grapes for Bisol Prosecco Superiore are handpicked and are 100% estate-grown in Valdobbiadene.
As with all Bisol wines, Relio Rive di Guia Extra Brut is vintage dated to help paint a clearer picture of time and place. 2021 was an excellent vintage for Prosecco Superiore with ideal conditions resulting in good levels of sugar and acidity. It’s characterized by cooler than average temperatures in April and May, a hot and dry June (only 10mm of rainfall), average temperatures in July, followed with cooler days in August and September.
Relio is named after Desiderio and Gianluca’s uncle, Aurelio who dedicated his life to this area and was responsible for overseeing the vineyards. This is the driest of the Bisol line hailing from the steep slopes (rive) of (di) Guia with deep fine marl, located in the western part of the Prosecco Superiore DOCG, just east of Valdobbiadene. Bisol 2021 Relio Rive di Guia Extra Brut is an outstanding Prosecco Superiore!
