Cartizze covers just over 100 hectares, and right in the middle of it, between Santo Stefano and San Pietro di Barbozza, lies Villa Sandi's La Rivetta vineyard. The slopes are steep and, in places, difficult to access; the vines are tended by hand, just as one would in a garden. The soil dates from the Miocene period; it is sandy, with calcareous sandstone and clay. Behind the estate stands the Polegato family: the grandfather purchased his first vineyards in the early 1920s. In the late 1970s, his grandsons Mario and Giancarlo acquired a villa in Crocetta del Montello, dating from 1622, which had once hosted Napoleon, and were among the first to export Prosecco abroad. The grapes are harvested in mid-September. The whole grapes are fed into the pneumatic press and gently pressed; the must is racked once. The second fermentation takes place at 15 to 16 degrees and is halted by cooling as soon as the alcohol and sugar levels are correct.

Pale straw yellow with fine bubbles. The bouquet offers notes of acacia blossom and jasmine, lemon zest, green apple and a hint of peach. On the palate, it is fresh, dry and focused, with a subtle hint of almond in the clean, lingering finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A bright, brilliant straw-yellow colour with silvery highlights. On the nose, it is very precise, with fresh aromas of green apple, nectarine and candied lemon zest, complemented by a hint of acacia blossom. On the palate, it is fresh and juicy, light-bodied, very well-balanced, with well-integrated acidity and a medium-length finish." Falstaff

"Lemon and orange peel with lemon blossom and crushed stone, everything arriving bright and in its place. What makes this one sing is the way the palate mirrors the nose perfectly, that same citrus energy carrying straight through with a verve and zip that lifts you from first sip to last. A wine with a clean, honest through line." Wine Enthusiast
