Treviso, Verona, Veneto, ItalyThis wine originates on the hill of Cartizze, 305 metres high, and spread across 107 hectares of vines owned by 140 growers. The Prosecco from its grapes is widely considered the highest quality or even the Grand Cru of Prosecco. The vineyard work required to make this wine is characterized as heroic, and walking the steep landscape makes that description abundantly clear. The vineyards wind along the crumbly stone hillsides over a firmer rock that results in a more refined Prosecco with a light, airy style. Despite pushing some 25 g/L of residual, it presents relatively dry, offering more finesse enhanced by floral stony notes mixed with blue fruits, fresh bread and minerality. Classy bubble best with subtle bites.Tasted: 20 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:
Treviso, Verona, Veneto, ItalyFrom the famed hill, and Cru, of Valdobbiadene's Cartizze, this Prosecco was based on glera, and finished with 25 g/L RS. Cartizze wines have a softer presence in the mouth, and are characterized with an elevated RS, as was the historic tradition. Perfumed pear blossoms, yellow apple, float on a tightly strung palate, with a nip of pear skins holding all taut to the humming finish. This is one of the more modern styled Cartizze I've experienced, and one to seek out to understand the style.Tasted: 29 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:
