2010 Silvano Follador "Cartizze" Prosecco Brut

SKU #1017824

Silvano Follador's "Cartizze" is a single vineyard offering, kept bright and lean thanks to a low dosage, and it takes the place of Champagne at the table just beautifully. Creamy and crisp, seemingly disparate notes come together seamlessly on this peach-scented bubbly from Follador. A K&L staff favorite.

The Superiore di Cartizze comes from the most famous “vineyard zone” in the region, a 266-acre slope framed by the villages of San Pietro Barbozza, Saccol and Santo Stefano (from where the Folladors hail). This 2009 Cartizze is DRY; I swear smoke left my mouth after the first taste. That does not mean it is not a complex wine. I still get that granny smith apple up front and red apple and a touch of nectarine on the aftertaste. At 11.5%, this is a great wine to serve for all your holiday parties, very crowd pleasing.

This delicious Prosecco is from the small, hilly zone of Cartizze. The grapes are picked when they are a bit riper giving them a slightly sweeter taste. Definitely a crowd pleasing sparkler, this crisp, creamy, and easy drinking wine will be a hit at any occasion.

Silvano Follador's "Cartizze" comes from some of the most expensive vineyard land in all of Italy, and with just one sniff and sip of this sparkler I understand why. Granny Smith apple and jasmine sweetness flood the bouquet, which tempers on the palate. Like peaches and cream with a dash of cinnamon in the mouth, this wine is crisp (dosed very low) but not searing. I'm stocking up on this beauty for the holidays.

Italy

- Once named Enotria for its abundant vineyards, Italy (thanks to the ancient Greeks and Romans) has had an enormous impact on the wine world. From the shores of Italy, the Romans brought grapes and their winemaking techniques to North Africa, Spain and Portugal, Germany, France, the Danube Valley, the Middle East and even England. Modern Italy, which didn't actually exist as a country until the 1870s, once produced mainly simple, everyday wine. It wasn't until the 1970s that Italy began the change toward quality. The 1980s showed incredible efforts and a lot of experimentation. The 1990s marked the real jump in consistent quality, including excellence in many Region that had been indistinct for ages. The entire Italian peninsula is seeing a winemaking revolution and is now one of the most exciting wine Region in the world. For our entire Italian wine selection, click here.
