(2004) Cartizze is the only Superiore "Cru" of Prosecco, a high, steep, cone shaped hill of 107 hectares, of which Bisol is the largest land-owner with three hectares. Around 40,000 bottles of this cuvée are produced. It is a very pale, almost transparent gold with a steady, vigorous stream of bubbles. It is delicate and more floral than the Crede cuvée, with lemon zest and flowery notes dominating. On the palate there is a more mineral base to this wine, with very clean, focused citrus fruit, and a decisive acidity that makes it mouthwatering and long, even though the residual sugar in this wine is higher that the Crede. This is a very elegant wine indeed.
(2003) This Prosecco has a light gold/green colour and stream of very small bubbles. On the nose, it has that gorgeous sherbetty brightness that is so typical, with notes of summer flowers and delicate pear and apple fruit. On the palate the mousse is soft in this lightly sparkling format, and the broad, expansive, low-acid palate has plenty of sweet custardy notes and ripe, juicy apple fruit. This is clean and very sippable, without a lot of complexity, but with no rough edges and lots of elegance.
