No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.

The historic heart of Prosecco, on hills so steep they're hand-harvested, and a UNESCO site since 2019. Tank-method sparkling with white peach, green pear, acacia and a soft, foamy mousse, drier and more mineral than the DOC plains wine. The 43 'Rive' single-village bottlings and Cartizze, a 108 hectare amphitheater above Valdobbiadene, are the top tier; Cartizze is usually made dry (off-dry in the old sense) and shows riper stone fruit. Drink young, in the year after release.

Still hunting

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.

If you make Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.

Can you help me get one?
