Brut, Prosecco DOC – Non-Vintage
-
Introduction
-
The Jeio line is inspired by the influential Desiderio Bisol, whose wife lovingly referred to him as Jeio. The father of the current owners, Desiderios is dedicated to product quality, acquiring only the steepest plots. While considerably more difficult to work, these plots are ideal for vine cultivation. As a result of his vision, the Glera cultivated in these vineyards is especially rich in malic acid, making the final wine more dynamic and evolved. Only the best Glera grapes are selected from Bisol’s 35 plots in Valdobbiadene to make the highly aromatic Jeio Brut.

Brut, Prosecco DOC – Non-Vintage – 2017 Wine & Spirits Value Brands of the Year
“Bisol represents a gold standard in Prosecco production, from its prestigious cru-level wines to the value-priced Jeio line. The Cuvée Spumante Brut includes some chardonnay, which gives it more heft than most, with notes of golden apple and pear; the Valdobbiadene Brut is tighter, with finer bubbles, mouthwatering acidy and cool salinity—ready for Wellfleet oysters.”
