One of the finest Proseccos around, this sells at Champagne prices – unsurprising, as it hails from Cartizze, Prosecco’s ‘grand cru’, where vineyard land costs even more on average than it does in Champagne. It’s a beautiful wine, bursting with golden apple and pear fruit, with white floral scents and a hint of fresh leafiness. It has a lovely linear style, and contains less residual sugar than most Cartizze wines (around 11g/l).
