Style: Dry, light-bodied naturally sparkling white; the ancestral method produces a softer, creamier effervescence than either Charmat or Champagne-method wines; the lees left in the bottle contribute a yeasty, brioche-like complexity and a slightly cloudy appearance that sets it apart entirely from industrial Prosecco;

Winemaking: Hand-harvested; light skin contact; spontaneous fermentation in cement tanks with indigenous yeasts and no temperature control; bottled during active fermentation; natural in-bottle re-fermentation (méthode ancestrale); lees remain in bottle; unfined, unfiltered; no added sulfites; no additions of any kind
Serving temperature & decanting: Serve well chilled at 44–48°F; no decanting; invert gently before pouring to incorporate the lees into the wine, or pour carefully off the sediment for a clearer glass
Pairing: Sarde in saor (Venetian sweet-and-sour sardines)
Similar to: Col Fondo Prosecco from Bele Casel, ancestral-method wines from Champagne, pét-nat from the Loire

Carolina Gatti Bolle Corsare Prosecco NV is a naturally sparkling white wine made from 100% old-vine Glera grown organically on clay-loam alluvial soils at Ponte di Piave in the Province of Treviso, Veneto. Carolina Gatti ferments the wine spontaneously in cement tanks with indigenous yeasts and light skin contact before bottling it during active fermentation using the ancestral method, which produces a natural, gentle effervescence and leaves the lees in the bottle. Unfined, unfiltered, and produced without added sulfites, Bolle Corsare is not officially recognized as Prosecco DOC — a distinction Carolina Gatti embraces. 12% ABV. Veneto, Italy.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Carolina Gatti

Azienda Agricola Gatti is a small family estate at Ponte di Piave in the Province of Treviso, with roots in winemaking dating back to the late nineteenth century. The estate covers approximately five hectares and operates as a fully self-sufficient farm, raising free-range livestock whose organic manure fertilizes the vineyards alongside grains and cereals grown on the same land. Carolina Gatti took over the winemaking after graduating in 2012 with a degree in oenology from Conegliano — writing her dissertation on Raboso del Piave, the ancient local red grape to which she is deeply attached and which gave its name to her blog, "Rabosando." She works alongside her father Lorenzo, mother Renata, and brother Lino.

In the vineyard, Carolina farms organically using no synthetic chemicals or herbicides, relying on minimal copper and sulfur treatments for disease management only when strictly necessary. Many of the vines are trained on the traditional belussera system — a near-extinct trellising method requiring intensive manual labor but producing low yields of concentrated, high-quality fruit from vines some of which are over 80 years old.

In the cellar, every wine is fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats, without temperature control or any additions. Nothing is fined or filtered. Bolle Corsare — "Pirate Bubbles," formerly called Bolle Bandite — is made by the ancestral method: bottled while still fermenting, with the natural in-bottle re-fermentation creating the wine's effervescence and leaving the lees in the glass. Because this method does not conform to the Charmat-method specifications required by the Prosecco DOC Consortium, the wine cannot officially carry the Prosecco DOC designation. For Carolina Gatti, this is a point of pride rather than limitation, reflecting a commitment to independence from industrial convention.

Wine region

Veneto, Italy

Ponte di Piave sits on the broad alluvial plain of the Piave River in the Province of Treviso, in the northeastern corner of Italy's Veneto region. This is the flat, lower-lying part of the wider Prosecco country — south and east of the famous hilly DOCG zones of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, where Glera vines climb steep terraced slopes that have been UNESCO World Heritage-listed since 2019. On the plains, the character of the wine is shaped by a different set of conditions: alluvial and clay-loam soils deposited over millennia by the glacial Piave River, low elevations rarely exceeding 100 feet, and a continental climate moderated by warm breezes arriving from the Adriatic Sea to the southeast and cool air descending from the Dolomites to the north.

The Piave plain soils are mineral-rich and well-drained, conditions that suit Glera's naturally high-acid, aromatic character and allow old vines to reach deep root systems that access stable water and nutrients without irrigation. The diurnal temperature swings between warm days and cooler evenings extend the ripening season and preserve the grape's natural acidity, which is the defining quality of Glera across all Prosecco zones.

The broader area around Treviso has a long viticultural history. The province of Treviso was already among Veneto's most important wine-producing territories in the early twentieth century. It is also home to the rare Raboso del Piave, an ancient indigenous red variety with fierce acidity and deep color that was historically the dominant grape of the Piave plain before Glera expanded its territory. Today the area sits at the intersection of tradition and a growing natural wine movement, with producers like Carolina Gatti rejecting the industrial Charmat method that defines commercial Prosecco in favor of low-intervention ancestral fermentation — a return, in many ways, to the original method used here before large-scale production transformed the wine.
