Bortolomiol Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore di Cartizze Dry 2024

Bortolomiol Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore di Cartizze Dry Millesimato 2024 comes from one of the most prized hillsides in all of Prosecco country. This single-vintage Cartizze bottling captures the rare balance of richness, fragrance and finesse that has made this tiny Grand Cru-like enclave legendary. With its limited production and hand-harvested Glera grapes, it’s a sparkling wine crafted for those special moments when only the very best Prosecco will do. What sets this wine apart is its origin: the famed Cartizze hill in Valdobbiadene, a steep, sun-drenched slope where mineral-rich soils give naturally ripe, concentrated berries of outstanding quality. For generations, Cartizze has been regarded as the pinnacle of Valdobbiadene, and Bortolomiol – one of the historic names of the region – has long been among its leading interpreters.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Cartizze Prosecco Superiore shows a bright, pale straw-yellow colour with luminous reflections and a fine, persistent bead of bubbles. The mousse is creamy yet delicate, forming a refined crown at the rim. The nose is intense and inviting, offering layers of ripe pear, golden apple, white peach and acacia blossom, supported by hints of citrus zest, almond, and a subtle touch of pastry and mineral notes. On the palate, the wine is silky and elegantly rounded, with the natural richness of Cartizze fruit balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavours of juicy stone fruit, pear compote, citrus and floral honey unfold across the mouth, finishing on a long, graceful note with a fine mineral lift and a gentle, off-dry sweetness that feels polished rather than heavy. Enjoyed now, it offers all the charm and freshness of the 2024 vintage, and while Prosecco is best appreciated young, this Millesimato Cartizze can comfortably develop additional honeyed and biscuity nuances over the next 2–3 years.

Production
The grapes for this wine come exclusively from the Cartizze hill in Valdobbiadene, a small, steep area within Veneto characterised by excellent sun exposure, good diurnal temperature shifts and mineral-rich, well-drained soils of marl and sandstone. These conditions, combined with the hillside’s natural ventilation, allow Glera grapes to ripen slowly, concentrating aromatic compounds and natural sugars. All grapes are harvested by hand, parcel by parcel, to ensure only the highest quality bunches are selected. After a gentle pressing of whole clusters, the must is clarified at low temperatures and then fermented in stainless steel to preserve pure aromatics. The second fermentation takes place using the Charmat (Martinotti) method in pressurised tanks, carefully controlled to build a fine, persistent perlage while retaining the freshness and fruit expression that define top-tier Cartizze Prosecco Superiore.

Food & Serving
This Cartizze Dry is a versatile partner at the table, particularly well suited to refined appetisers, shellfish, sushi and sashimi, delicate fish dishes, mild cheeses and prosciutto-based canapés. Its polished sweetness and creamy texture also make it an excellent match for fruit tarts, almond cakes, panettone and light pastries. Serve well-chilled at 6–8°C (43–46°F) to showcase its aromatic detail and refreshing finish. Decanting is not necessary; simply open the bottle a few minutes before serving to allow the mousse to settle and the bouquet to fully express itself.

Producer
Bortolomiol is one of the historic producers of Valdobbiadene, with roots dating back to the mid-20th century, when Giuliano Bortolomiol helped champion quality-focused Prosecco production in the region. Based in the heart of the Valdobbiadene hills in Veneto, the winery has played a key role in elevating Prosecco from a local sparkling wine to a globally recognised DOCG appellation. Known for its dedication to the Glera grape, careful vineyard management and precise, modern vinification, Bortolomiol has garnered a strong reputation for consistency and finesse, particularly in its top cuvées from prestigious sites like Cartizze. The estate is regarded as a benchmark for Prosecco Superiore, combining family tradition with ongoing innovation in both vineyard and cellar.
