THE CRU - The soul of the vineyard
CARTIZZE

Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze
Denominazione di Origine Controllata
Spumante Dry

 

“… here are the slopes of Cartizze festooned with vineyards, to the care of which for nearly a thousand years men have consecrated their lives, rendering them eternal and sovereign.” That is the way “this corner of paradise” appeared to Adriano Màdaro. The area is named for Santo Stefano, the heart of a small zone where this celebrated Prosecco is created and where the Bisol Winery has its headquarters. It is an area in which a particularly mild microclimate combines perfectly with an extremely ancient terrain.
Firm rock below and crumbly stone on the surface, this fine soil has a balanced chemical composition and constant humidity, so that the grapes ripen slowly, unusually slowly…

Color: light straw yellow and the perlage is lively, persistent and subtle.
