Medium Ruby color with aromas of berry fruits and spicy floral notes. On the palate flavors of tart cherry, blueberry and red plum with pepper spice, burnt toast and herbs. Fine chalky tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice, floral and slight earthy character. Has short term aging benefit, but nice now! — a month ago

9.3

The winery is the only one situated on the Cartizze Hill.
They only make Valdobbiadene Docg and Cartizze Docg.
Manula harvesting is the only option on these slopes, not like they do on the flatland of the Prosecco DOC.
That results in an intense and unique expression for every label, but we reach the epitome with Her Majesty Cartizze.
The only Cru around here.
The traditional Dry version(24 g sugar per litre) is absolutely textural and balanced by the mineral finish that hides completely the sweetness that you would expect.
Extremely long.
This is prosecco on steroids(does that sound good or bad??)
Excellent drop!! — 2 months ago

Really stellar. Decanted for an hour and a half. Sandalwood and spice on the nose. Nice smooth mouthfeel with beautifully complex flavors of cherry, sandalwood, and some nice fall spices and woodsy herbs coming through on the palette. After some time in the glass, additional hints of crushed roses started to peep through. Just absolutely lovely now and went so well with braised short ribs, parmesan polenta, and wild mushrooms. The tannins are still bringing some astringency through into the finish though. I can see this being spectacular down the road once the tannins smooth out more, but this is at a good place right now. — 19 days ago

Pale green/yellow color, with a surprising medium body, slight oxidation, vegetal and grassy nose with some slight peppery hints that just keeps evolving with a strong minerality, slightly creamy palate and a long dry finish. — 7 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over he course of a few of hours The 2017 Riserva “Pora” pours a deep garnet color with medium+ viscosity and no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Bing cherry, rhubarb, dried orange peel, tomato leaf, espresso, some tar, a bit of leather and dried earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Of all the vineyards that get selected for Produttori’s Riservas, Pora is the MGA for which I have the least experience. Lack of experience with Pora aside, this is empirically an attractive Barbaresco Riserva. Still early days. Drink now through 2042. Bottle No. 5118/13333. — a month ago
