CARTIZZE
PROSECCO NV BRUT
​VALDOBBIADENE D.O.C.G.  

Cartizze, or to be more precise Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze, represents the highest oenological expression of the area. This wine epitomizes the finesse, elegance and delicate 
fruit and floral aromas of the grapes grown in the exclusive and extremely limited Cartizze area. The fortunate exposure of the hills and the particular soil composition (consisting mostly of limestone, clay and sandstone) give origin to this highly characteristic and therefore greatly sought after, wine.
Area of Production:   Veneto , Italy

Varietal: 100% Glera (traditionally called Prosecco)

Alcohol: 11.5%       Residual Sugar: 8.5% - Brut

Wine Notes: Brilliant straw yellow color, with pale 
greenish tones, and a fine, elegant and persistent perlage.  The aromatic profile is fragrant and is oriented towards fresh aromas of summer pears, delicate notes of white flower petals and wild herbs.  On the palate the taste structure confirms a great balance. Cartizze Brut shows a crystalline flavor in the mouth with a delicate mineral note.  Soft in the mouth, with a long finish that brings out the pleasant citrus tones found on the nose.

Estate & Wines: The Ruggeri winery, established in 1950 was originally housed in small premises in the village of Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene. In the early 1990’s it was relocated to a new, larger and more practical location with two fully independent lines for receiving the grapes and 5 ‘soft’ presses. 

Recommended Pairings:  Enjoyed easily alone as an aperitif or, thanks to its excellent balance and 
structure, a delicious accompaniment to fish and 
shellfish dishes, risottos, sushi, marinated fish salads and couscous with crunchy vegetables.
