Valdobbiadene Docg Cartizze
The elite of Valdobbiadene
Four seasons follow one another and one after the other guarantee the vines rest, sap, buds and more, in a wonderful spectacle that only nature knows how to repeat, year after year.
The centuries-old vine on the Cartizze hill, the top of La Tordera production and of the Valdobbiadene DOCG appellation, is cared for by Pietro (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, unforgettable flavour. The nourishing earth, the breeze that caresses the vines, the special climate of this valley and Pietro’s love for this place that is so dear to him, are the ingredients that make this amiable sparkling wine rich in fragrance and flavour and very well-balanced in body.
Hints of apple, ripe pear and, among the flowers, those of lime, wisteria and almonds can be recognised in it, expressing fruity and floral notes on the nose. The perlage is fine and persistent.
