Grapes for this Prosecco Superiore di Cartizze DOCG are grown on the Cartizze hillside, within the Valdobbiadene area.

After the primary fermentation, stabilization and secondary fermentation (“prise de mousse”) follow according to the Charmat method. All steps are carried out according to the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG regulations.

The grapes are manually harvested into baskets and softly pressed to obtain the must, which is then refrigerated and filtered. Fermentation takes places in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at between 18°C and 22°C and there is no contact between the must and the skins during this time.
