Glera, from Cartizze.

soil

The vineyards of Cartizze rise on a hilly area with a full Southern exposure, characterized by a high slope that allows the vines to enjoy greater sunlight. Altitude varies between 320, at the peak, and 230 meters. The soil has an eroded, thin and medium-textured limestone substrate; the marly substrate emerges in some areas. The surface contains a good percentage of organic matter, thanks to the perennial grassy cover.

vinification

Charmat method: pressing, destemming, cooling of must and fermentation at a controlled temperature in steel tanks. Second fermentation in autoclave.

Vintage: Vintage wine

pairings

Ideal both as a “sweet” aperitif or drank according to tradition, paired with dry pastries, fruit tarts, spoon desserts and fruit. An excellent match with panettone, colomba, affogato and focaccia, for a delicate twist.
