Cartizze Extra Brut 'ZERO' Duca di Dolle

The Cartizze Extra Brut Zero by Duca di Dolle winery was created with the idea of producing a very dry Cartizze with low residual sugar. The name "Zero" indicates that, with its 5 grams per litre of sugar, this Cartizze is the driest of the type. Normally Cartizze wines are in fact produced dry, with up to 32 g/l residual sugar, and are therefore presented as dessert sparkling wines. In this case, on the other hand, we are faced with a sparkling wine endowed with the most elegant and intense aromas typical of the Glera grape and designed to accompany the entire meal, from hors d'oeuvres to main courses.

Cartizze Zero originates from vines over 50 years old exposed South and South-East in the Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene area, one of the most vocated in the denomination. The Glera grapes are harvested by hand and they're immediately transported to the winery by refrigerated vehicles to maintain the freshness of the grapes. In the winery, the grapes are pressed and they ferment according to the Charmat or Martinotti method, with a re-fermentation in hermetically sealed steel containers. The criteria that guides the entire production process is to let the purity of the grape express itself, limiting interventions, modifications and the addition of sugar as much as possible.

Spumante Extra Brut Zero of Cartizze fully reflects the philosophy of the Duca di Dolle winery, a modern winery that pays great attention to the quality, the elegance and the uniqueness of the wines it produces. Qualities that we also find in this sparkling wine, particularly recommended for those in search of the best expressions of Prosecco. With its notes of citrus fruits, green apple and white flowers, it will pair with great class not only with aperitifs and starters, but also with delicate first and second courses based on fish or vegetables.
