Cartizze spumante dry DOCG 750ml TORDERA

CARTIZZE DRY
VALDOBBIADENE PROSECCO SUPERIORE DOCG CARTIZZE
The elite of Valdobbiadene

Four seasons follow one another and one after the other guarantee the vines rest, sap, buds and much more, in a marvellous spectacle that only nature can repeat, year
after year.

The centuries-old vine on the Cartizze hill, the top of the La Tordera production and of the Valdobbiadene DOCG appellation, is cared for by Pietro (the founder of the
Vettoretti family for more than 80 years) in the first person, just as his ancestors did before him.

Cartizze Dry has an intense, unique and unforgettable flavour. The nourishing earth, the breeze that caresses the vines, the particular climate of this valley and Pietro's love
for this place that is so dear to him, are the ingredients that make this sweet, full-bodied and well-balanced sparkling wine rich in aroma and flavour.
Hints of apple, ripe pear and, among the flowers, those of lime, wisteria and almonds can be detected, expressing fruity and floral notes on the nose. The perlage is fine and
persistent.
