San Pietro di Barbozza is no unknown name within the appellation. Anyone familiar with the hills knows that this is also where Cartizze is found. This legendary 107-hectare slope, the grand cru of the entire Valdobbiadene region, borders directly on the municipality of San Pietro di Barbozza – the same steep limestone cliffs, the same heroic hillside, the same ‘Biancone’ – that fine-grained limestone which has been breaking out of the mountain for millennia, imbuing the soils of this area with a sharp minerality. Andreola only began cultivating this plot for harvest 2024 harvest – just two hectares, facing east to west, with slopes of up to 80%. The soils become thinner with increasing altitude, until the roots reach directly into the limestone. No buffer, no storage – just rock and freshness.

The result is the most uncompromising wine in the Rive range: less than 1 g/l of residual sugar, extra brut, a salty minerality that comes directly from the parent rock layer, and an unexpected vibrancy in the glass. White blossoms, green apple, cool citrus notes – clear, precise, vertical. The perlage is fine and persistent, the finish long and exceptionally savoury. The first vintage was immediately named the best Charmat sparkling wine in Italy. Sometimes a terroir doesn’t need a long run-up. SUPERIORE.DE

"Straw-yellow with silvery highlights, fine bubbles. On the nose, ripe Williams pear, lemon balm and a hint of white pepper. Juicy on the palate with citrus notes, a precise acidity, and final long, elegant final." Falstaff
