Notes

Foss Marai "Cartizze" Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Dry is a premium sparkling wine crafted from grapes grown on the esteemed Cartizze hill, the most prestigious area within the Prosecco di Valdobbiadene DOCG. The Cartizze hill, covering about 107 hectares, is known for its unique combination of steep slopes, ideal sun exposure, and mineral-rich soils, all of which contribute to creating Prosecco with extraordinary complexity, elegance, and balance. This specific area within Valdobbiadene is considered the "grand cru" of Prosecco, where the quality of the Glera grape reaches its highest potential. Foss Marai, a family-owned winery with a longstanding reputation for quality and tradition, crafts this Prosecco with meticulous attention to detail. On the nose, "Cartizze" offers an aromatic bouquet of ripe pear, white peach, and golden apple, with delicate floral notes of acacia and a hint of citrus. The palate is elegant and creamy, with a fine, persistent mousse and a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Flavors of stone fruit, citrus, and a touch of honey unfold, leading to a smooth, lingering finish. Foss Marai "Cartizze" showcases the essence of this special hill, offering a refined and complex Prosecco that represents the pinnacle of what Valdobbiadene can achieve.
