Cartizze Dry Luxury Mionetto

Cartizze Dry "Luxury Collection" is one of the jewels in the crown of the Mionetto winery, a creamy, fragrant expression of the Cartizze region. The Cartizze region, considered to be the epitome of Prosecco, owes its fame to the special conditions of its microclimate and soil, which allow the cultivation of Glera grapes of exceptional quality. Cartizze is a hilly sub-area of the Valdobbiadene region, covering a total of just 108 hectares, from which the prestigious Prosecco Superiore di Cartizze DOCG is made. The area's special features include excellent aeration, excellent southern exposure of the vineyards, the rich mineral content of the soil and the wide temperature variations between day and night.

Luxury Collection" Mionetto Cartizze Dry is a 100% Glera made from vines grown in the Cartizze region. After the harvest, the grapes are transported to the cellar, where a meticulous white vinification takes place, with gentle pressing followed by alcoholic fermentation of the must in stainless steel vats. The finished basic sparkling wine is sent to an autoclave for secondary fermentation in the bottle using the Martinotti method, also known as the Charmat method. This is followed by several months' ageing on the lees and in the bottle before the final release, which takes place with a residual sugar content of between 20 and 26 g/l, i.e. in the dry wine category.

Cartizze Mionetto "Luxury Collection" Dry has a straw-yellow colour with golden highlights and very fine, persistent perlage. The nose reveals fruity aromas of ripe apples and pears, as well as delicate pastry notes reminiscent of candied oranges and caramelised almonds. On the palate, the sugar content confers a sweet character that is well supported by the pronounced freshness in a harmonious, creamy evolution.
