Le Colture Description

Winemaker Notes

Considered the Grand Cru of Prosecco the tiny "Superiore di Cartizze" piece of land is located in Valdobbiadene, in the heart of the Prosecco DOCG area, and is set like a jewel amidst the steepest hills around San Pietro di Barbozza, Santo Stefano and Saccol. Only 106 hectares in size, the Cartizze area supplies the best grapes in the Appellation, which are made into this Prosecco Cartizze, a highly treasured sparkling wine that achieves the best quality in the DOCG Conegliano-Valdobbiadene area.

Opulently sweet like most Prosecco wines from the Cartizze cru in Valdobbiadene, with 23 grams of residual sugar per liter, this nevertheless shows exceptionally fine balance thanks to zesty acidity and plenty of dry extract suggesting that the fruit was harvested at admirably low yield levels. Marked by delicacy as much as richness or power, this is a Cartizze that really calls for a second glass, whereas many counterpart wines prove tiring to drink for lack of comparable balance.

Critical Acclaim

Decanter

Expressive with delicate aromas of blossom, pears, white peaches, and lemon. A well-proportioned palate, delicately creamy, and lively acidity.

Wine Enthusiast
Le Colture is one of the best producers of Prosecco Superiore and this Dry expression spells out why. The wine is soft and layered with pretty nuances of peach, white flower and fresh tangerine. You’ll love those drying mineral notes at the end that contrast this sparkler’s natural sweetness.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The Le Colture NV Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze Dry is softly sweet and peachy with candied lemon and marzipan. Fruit is from the 2020 vintage. This easy but graceful sparkler shows foamy beady, and the wine wraps over the palate with lightweight intensity. The vineyard measures just 1.5 hectares with calcareous soils on top and rocks deep below the surface. Annual production is 20,000 bottles. Best After 2022
