Cartizze refers to a hilltop area in Valdobbiadene above 1,000 ft characterized by rocky terrain that winds along the crest of the steep hillside. Benefiting from firm rock and crumbly stone, complete sunlight exposure and continuous ventilation, this microclimate is an area of rare value. In Cartizze, Glera ripens at a slower rate and, consequently, enjoys a richer, more harmonious acidity. The 260 acres of Cartizze are owned by 140 growers. Bisol’s flagship holding is 7 acres and it is considered to be of the highest quality, or even the "Grand Cru" of Prosecco.

This 'Grand Cru' of prosecco is straw yellow with a fine, lively and persistent perlage. The bouquet is elegant with scents of wildflowers, pleasantly fruity with notes of apples, pears and peaches.

The rich history of Bisol dates back to 1542, when the Bisol family began managing the countryside of Valdobbiadene. Five centuries of history which continues today in the innate love for the land and wine of the Valdobbiadene area, a unique place between the Dolomites and Venice, the most suited to the production of Prosecco Superiore. Bisol1542 wines narrate a mosaic of soils, terroirs and vintages, which are the fruit of heroic viticulture in Valdobbiadene hills, a UNESCO World heritage site. The winery enhances the terroir and its differences by cultivating and selecting only the most suitable vineyards in the appellation, those on steep slopes — the Rive and Cartizze— requiring 900 hours of manual labor per hectare each year, from pruning to mowing the grass to the grape harvest.

Since 1542, the Bisol family has produced a range of sustainably farmed and internationally recognized Prosecco Superiore DOCG in the heart of Valdobbiadene. All bottlings are expressions of terroir, including the famed 'Cartizze, the 'Grand Cru’ of Prosecco, from their own vineyards.¬†Today, Giancluca Bisol has assumed the role of President and CEO while his brother, Desiderio, holds the position of chief enologist and technical director.
