Cartizze is the most prestigious cru in Zucchetto Prosecco Doc area, a very small surface (about 270 acres) made by vineyards lying between the steepest hills of Saccol and Santo Stefano in Valdobbiadene County. In our “Cartizze Alto” vineyards there’s a perfect combination of exposition, soil, with moraines, sandstone and clays which allows a rapid drainage of rainwater and a natural protection from dangerous icy rains, due to an incredibly slope of the hill. All these factors give a unique and truly sumptuous sparkling. Impressions of white peach and apricot, with a hint of apple, accompany a silky and smooth palate; a pleasant note of glazed almond on the aftertaste takes you to a lingering finish.
