It is a sparkling wine obtained from vineyards in an area of ​​only 106 hectares, all of which are perched to the steepest hills of Valdobbiadene County. Cartizze is a sumptuous sparkling wine. From its color you can appreciate its great intensity, also manifested by a complex and pleasing mix of scents, from apple to pear, apricot to citrus, to rose, with a pleasant note of frosted almonds aftertaste.
