THE REVIEW OF CARTIZZE CANTINA PRODUTTORI DI VALDOBBIADENE BY LUCA STROPPA
The producer
Cantina Produttori di Valdobbiadene is situated in the foothills of the Veneto Alps on hillsides squeezed between Asolo and Conegliano. It was formed in 1952 out of the desire of a handful of wine-makers who were determined to sustain quality. 80% of production is based on the native Glera vine, in an area where it reaches an excellent level of quality. Cantina Produttori di Valdobbiadene has great experience of the cultivation of the vines, experience which has been passed on from generation to generation. Careful selection is made at the moment of harvest, and modern wine-making techniques are used. Yet, perhaps above all, it is genuine enthusiasm that makes Cantina Produttori di Valdobbiadene a point of reference for those appreciative of Prosecco.
