The Bottega Prosecco Bar, located inside the Dubai airport, has officially reopened.
Due to the pandemic, the location was closed for over a year and a half (from March 2020). However, the excellent results achieved in the first months of activity, between 2019 and 2020, prompted both Bottega company and the partner HMSHost International to reopen as soon as conditions made it possible.
The Bottega Prosecco Bar, located in Terminal 3 (Gate A) of Dubai International (DXB), is a reality with its own well-defined identity among the gastronomic offers of the busiest international airport in the world. The Emirate airport is in fact a strategic hub and represents the fulcrum of air connections between Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Middle East.
Sandro Bottega, president of Bottega S.p.A. declares: “We are particularly satisfied with this reopening, which testifies to our ability to readjust to the new specificities imposed by the pandemic. Prosecco Bar has materialized in the past and will continue to be a food and wine experience to treat yourself during your trip. A safe haven in which to linger, based on the time available, for a refreshing break. The structure correctly reflects our values and aims to strengthen Italy’s reputation in the oenological and gastronomic fields. “Bottega adds:” In these months of forced inactivity we have tried to make the structure increasingly sustainable. We have also expanded the range of natural products to gluten-free pasta and alcohol-free sparkling wines, which will be available shortly. Finally, in the same location customers buy the book “The 100 Prosecco Recipes”.
The “Prosecco Bar” is a concept conceived by Bottega with the aim of enhancing the excellence of Italian country and gratifying the palate of the typical consumer. Specifically, the philosophy of the Venetian bacaro is re-proposed, that is of an informal tavern, where the foods are presented as “cicheti”, or snacks to be consumed at the counter, and as more structured dishes to be served at the tables. The combination with Prosecco, privileged for its versatility, and with other Italian wines closes the circle and helps to make every moment, short or long, spent in a bacaro, a pleasant experience which enriches the spirit and refreshes the soul. Bottega Prosecco Bar is therefore an evolution of this philosophy, which extrapolated from the Venetian reality, can be reproduced all over the world. The backbone of the project is the “Perfect Match”, that is the ideal combination of the typical foods of Italian regional cuisines and the different wines offered by Bottega. It is therefore not a selection of starred recipes that can be repeated, but a homogeneous set of traditional dishes, able to give great satisfaction to the palates of all latitudes. The articulated range of wines, which includes Prosecco, sparkling wines from fine vines, the great prestigious reds (Amarone, Brunello di Montalcino, Ripasso, Bolgheri), dessert wines, the selection of white and barricaded grappas, together with ‘wide range of fruit-based and cream-based liqueurs, make Bottega a protagonist in the beverage scene and make it a solid partner that is appreciated for its ability to offer different products with consistently high standard quality.
Finally, the Prosecco Bar in Dubai will offer customers the opportunity to purchase Sandro Bottega’s book “The 100 Prosecco Recipes ” in the same location, to try traditional recipes at home as well.
