Bortolotto replaced Alessandro Matri in the 71st minute; the match ended in a 4–2 home loss to Piacenza.
In summer 2004, he joined Serie C2 side Biellese. The following season, he was signed by Chievo on a co-ownership deal.

In June 2010, he won the Serie D Group B championship with the club, earning promotion to the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione.
