Cartizze is widely regarded as the 'grand cru' of Prosecco, sourced exclusively from the steep, sun-facing amphitheater of the Cartizze hill — a roughly 108-hectare plot in the heart of Valdobbiadene that the Bisol family has cultivated since 1542. Made from 100% Glera grown on well-drained sandy-marl soils at altitude, the wine is vinified in the classic 'Dry' style (moderately off-dry, around 17-25g/L residual sugar), producing a fine, creamy mousse with notes of ripe pear, apricot, white peach and meadow flowers, balanced by a chalky, savory minerality that distinguishes it from standard Prosecco.
If Crede shows what Valdobbiadene Prosecco can be, Cartizze shows what it was born to be — the only Prosecco cru with true grand cru standing.
New to wine?
The single-vineyard 'grand cru' of Prosecco — a great way to taste why terroir matters even in sparkling wine.
Food Pairings
A versatile aperitif style that also stands up to richer dishes: shellfish, white meat, tempura and lightly spiced vegetarian fare all work well, thanks to its touch of sweetness balancing acidity and spice.
When to drink it
Celebrations, toasts, and special-occasion aperitifs

- What makes Bisol Cartizze different from regular Prosecco?
- It comes exclusively from the tiny, steep Cartizze hill — considered the single finest Glera vineyard site in Valdobbiadene — and is vinified in the slightly sweeter 'Dry' style, giving it more texture and fruit concentration than standard Brut or Extra Dry Prosecco.
- Is Cartizze sweet?
- It falls under the 'Dry' Prosecco classification, which despite the name is actually the sweetest standard style (roughly 17-25g/L residual sugar), so it reads as gently off-dry rather than fully dry.
- What food pairs well with Bisol Cartizze?
- Its touch of sweetness makes it excellent with shellfish, tempura, mildly spiced dishes, and as a stand-alone aperitif.
- Is Bisol Cartizze vintage or non-vintage?
- Bisol has released Cartizze both as NV and with vintage designation in different markets and years; check the specific bottle's label for the current release.
