Tasting note
Exceptionally elegant Prosecco, juicy with summer pears and citrus and perfumed with white flowers and herbs.
Viticulture
Cartizze represents the highest oenological expression of the Valdobbiadene region, with wines produced here epitomising finesse and elegance within Prosecco. Slopes are extremely steep, with poor soils that result in vines of excellent quality. All grapes in Cartizze must be hand harvested, due to the precipitous positioning of vineyards.
Vinification
After hand harvests and gentle destemming, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 18°C. The still wine is then transferred to large sealed tanks, and undergoes secondary fermentation between 12-14°C, taking on a fine yet persistent sparkle.
Food Match
Superb paired with fish and shellfish courses, from sushi to seafood risotto. Try it with a swordfish carpaccio, white fish lasagnette, or a scampi salad.
