Ruggeri & C. NV Cartizze Dry Glera (Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze)

Cartizze expressions of Prosecco Superiore tend to offer exceptional creaminess in the mouth—thanks to the foamy quality of the perlage—and sweet fruit on the close. This expression from one of the area’s most historic wineries lives beautifully up to this reputation.
