Characteristics
Organoleptic
Presentation: Superiore di Cartizze is a sparkling wine with a light straw yellow colour with a fine and persistent perlage that enhances the flavour. The aroma is intense and delicate, showing an inviting complexity of scents such as rose, acacia and citrus with accentuated notes of apple, white peach and a pleasing almond aftertaste. A pleasant flavour, velvety, robust, with a soft taste. It should be drunk when it still has the exuberance and liveliness of youth.
