Doppio passo

Name for a wine brand originally developed by the Italian producer Casa Vinicola Carlo Botter, a large winery in northern Italy founded in 1928, which still owns a winery called Doppio Passo in Apulia in southern Italy. The protected brand name Doppio passo ® goes back to the sport of football and means "double pass" It is a metaphor for a particularly successful working cooperation in the sense of teamwork, as practised by the married couple Carlo and Maria Botter. They started with just one red wine from the Primitivo variety (Tribidrag) and have since developed into a wine line with rosé and white wines as well as a Prosecco.

The grapes from the first harvest are fermented slowly. The second part is harvested only after three to four weeks and thus has a higher ripeness and concentration. This is now also fermented. Now the two wines are blended and fermented again. Such a wine has a great variety of aromas and a slightly higher alcohol content. The term Doppio passo, which does not describe a production process, should therefore not be confused with Ripasso.
