Cartizze, the most prestigious cru in the Valdobbiadene Prosecco D.O.C.G. area, is a relatively small surface of land. It spans just about 270 acres, making it a limited and exclusive vineyard area. This small size contributes to the allure and desirability of Cartizze wines.
The vineyards of Cartizze are situated on the steep hills of San Pietro di Barbozza and Santo Stefano in the Valdobbiadene county. These hillsides provide optimal conditions for grape cultivation, as the slopes ensure good drainage and sun exposure. The unique terroir of Cartizze, characterized by its diverse soils and microclimates, contributes to the distinctiveness and quality of the wines produced here.
The limited size of Cartizze means that the production of Cartizze wines is also limited. This scarcity adds to the prestige and value of these wines, as they are highly sought after by wine enthusiasts and collectors. The small surface area of Cartizze allows for meticulous attention to detail in the cultivation and production of the grapes, resulting in wines of exceptional quality.
In my personal experience as a sommelier, I have had the opportunity to taste Cartizze wines and appreciate their uniqueness. The small size of the vineyard area and the attention to detail in the winemaking process truly shine through in the final product. The flavors, aromas, and overall complexity of Cartizze wines are a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of the winemakers in this region.
