What makes Prosecco so special?

Paolo Bisol points to some old, gnarled vines that stand on a steep slope on the Cartizze hill. "These are our Methusalems, these vines are over 80 years old. If we take good care of them, they have many more years ahead of them." The grapes from these old vines form the basis for Ruggeri's Prosecco Superiore DOCG Vecchie Viti. Paolo Bisol knows the steep slopes around the small town of Valdobbiadene like the back of his hand. For many years he managed the Ruggeri winery which, in 2017, became part of the Rotkäppchen-Mumm group. The Cartizze slope is a special site in the municipality of Valdobbiadene.
