Prosecco maker Bisol1542 is celebrating 35 years since it launched its prosecco superiore to the United Kingdom. 

 

To mark the occasion, brand ambassador and honorary president Gianluca Bisol is touring the UK, showcasing the Bisol1542 portfolio. Also during the tour, the brand will launch Bisol1542 I Gondolieri.

 

The Bisol1542 I Gondolieri special edition honours the brand’s partnership with the Association of Gondoliers and the city of Venice. The Bisol1542 winery was established in 1542 in Valdobbiadene in north-east Italy, close to Venice. 

 

Bisol said: “We sold the first bottle of Bisol1542 in the UK in 1989, so we’re delighted to celebrate this anniversary, 35 years later, with this UK tour. In the last 30 years, the UK Prosecco Superiore market has significantly increased, so it’s exciting to see Bisol1542 now on the wine lists of some of the best bars, restaurants, and hotels across the UK, as the perfect Italian sparkling wine for many occasions, both celebratory and gastronomic. Although the market has changed, our commitment to producing the best expression of Prosecco Superiore has remained consistent.”

 

The tour will begin in London’s Mele e Pere and Bocca di Lupo on Tuesday 7 May, before stops in Bristol, Cambridge, Oxford, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, and York. Both trade and consumer evenings will be hosted. For more information, visit bisol.it.

 

Bisol1542 Prosecco Superiore and Jeio is available via selected retailers and in on-trade locations nationwide.
