Bottega Il Vino dei Poeti VALDOBBIADENE Prosecco Superiore CARTIZZE DOCG 11,5% Vol. 0,75l

The Bottega Il Vino dei Poeti Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore di Cartizze DOCG Dry 11.5% represents a particularly renowned appellation within the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG. The grapes come from the Cartizze region—which spans just 108 hectares—in the UNESCO-designated hills of Valdobbiadene in Veneto, specifically from the steep slopes between San Pietro di Barbozza, Santo Stefano, and Saccol. The cuvee is based on at least 85% Glera, complemented by Chardonnay and Pinot. Limestone- and clay-rich soils composed of marl and sandstone, pronounced day-night temperature variations, and the protection of the Pre-Alps create unique conditions for this Prosecco Superiore di Cartizze DOCG. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand between mid-September and early October and transported to the winery within two hours.

After gentle pressing and clarification of the must, the first fermentation takes place, followed by the second fermentation using the Martinotti method in a pressure tank at a controlled temperature of 14–15 °C. The sparkling wine then rests on its fine lees for at least two months, which enhances its structure and aromatic complexity. With 22 g/l of residual sugar, the Bottega Cartizze is classified as “Dry”; total acidity ranges from 5.0–6.5 g/l. In the 0.75-liter bottle, this Cartizze Prosecco from Bottega combines a strictly defined origin, labor-intensive hand-harvesting, and meticulous sparkling wine production. It is recommended to enjoy it within 18 months.
