Australia’s First Families of Wines: Feast with the De Bortolis
Words by The De Bortoli Family on 8 Jun 2018
We’re proud to say that we’re a fourth generation family wine business with the third generation – Darren, Leanne, Kevin and Victor De Bortoli – the current custodians. Our Villages Yarra Valley Pinot Noir is enjoyable all year round. We chill it ever so slightly in summer and find it an appealing drink in winter. It is also a good style of wine that goes with a variety of foods or is just as pleasant on its own. A heavenly match is fresh picked figs off our mother, Emeri’s tree, wrapped in prosciutto and served with parmesan crisps. One of her favourite dishes to make for our family is chicken liver risotto. We have always enjoyed it and now our children often request ‘Nonna’s risotto.’ "My family often demand this dish and often it’s all my grandchildren want to eat...and if they come back for seconds, who am I to argue!"
