Ruggeri Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze Dry 2024

Ruggeri’s Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze Dry 2024 comes from one of Prosecco’s most prized hillside zones, offering a more refined and textural expression of Glera. Cartizze is renowned for its small, steep vineyards and exceptional aromatic depth, making this a standout choice for anyone seeking a premium sparkling wine with real character.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright straw-yellow color with a lively, persistent mousse. The nose is typically expressive and elegant, with notes of ripe pear, golden apple, white peach, citrus blossom, and a subtle floral lift. On the palate, it is soft, smooth, and finely balanced, with a gentle sweetness that supports the fruit without overwhelming it. The bubbles are delicate and creamy, and the finish is fresh, clean, and pleasantly long. While best enjoyed young for its vibrant fruit and freshness, Cartizze’s concentration gives it a touch more depth than standard Prosecco styles.

Production
This wine comes from the Cartizze cru in Valdobbiadene, a historic hillside area in Veneto known for its steep slopes and poor, well-drained soils that help concentrate flavor in the grapes. The vineyards are traditionally worked with careful hand harvesting due to the challenging terrain, ensuring only healthy, fully ripe fruit is selected. Vinification follows the classic sparkling wine approach for Prosecco, with fermentation designed to preserve the grape’s natural floral and fruit-driven profile. The result is a wine that reflects both the unique terroir of Cartizze and Ruggeri’s precise, elegant style.

Food & Serving
This Dry style pairs beautifully with light pastries, fruit tarts, delicate cakes, and mildly sweet desserts, but it also works well with prosciutto, soft cheeses, and refined appetizers. Serve well chilled at around 6–8°C. Decanting is not recommended; instead, open and enjoy while the wine is fresh and lively.
