A serious nose, with green apples, nectarines, chalk and a hint of white blossom. Off-sweet and fruity, but rendered in a subtle way with a fresh, persistent fizz. Good length here. Not just about sweetness. Drink now

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 91
The 2021 Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze Dry shows a pretty level of sweetness that is supported by fine, soft beading. The wine is steady and creamy with plenty of stone fruit, pastry cream and yellow rose. This wine has the softness and the volume to pair with spicy Indian vegetarian appetizers. Best After 2022

Cartizze refers to a hilltop area in Valdobbiadene above 1,000 ft characterized by rocky terrain that winds along the crest of the steep hillside. Benefiting from firm rock and crumbly stone, complete sunlight exposure and continuous ventilation, this microclimate is an area of rare value. In Cartizze, Glera ripens at a slower rate and, consequently, enjoys a richer, more harmonious acidity. The 260 acres of Cartizze are owned by 140 growers. Bisols flagship holding is 7 acres and it is considered to be of the highest quality, or even the Grand Cru of Prosecco.

GRAPE VARIETY 85% Glera, 15% Chardonnay
SOIL The firm rock below and crumbly stone on the surface endow the grapes with marked acidity balanced out by the natural sugars which are preserved and exalted by the heroic manual grape harvest.
COLOR Straw yellow, with a lively, persistent and fine perlage.
BOUQUET Rose and white wisteria notes blend with the aroma of apples, pears and peaches, touching on the aromatic nuances of thyme, exotic fruit and pastry.
FLAVOR Rich, intense, full-bodied and evolving. A sip that surprises with every taste.
