Up through the 1950's, Prosecco was a sweet sparkler, barely indistinguishable from the Spumanti of Asti. It all changed in 1960, when Giuliano Bortolomiol created the first Prosecco Brut. The family winery is now run by daughters Maria Elena, Elvira, Luisa and Guiliana, and dedicated to organics, energy efficiency and charities such as The Africa Project and Wine for Life.
