Fruity, floral, and surprisingly complex, the Cartizze Dry Millesimato 2024 captivates with its notes of yellow apple and wisteria blossoms, accompanied by a fine and persistent perlage—but that’s not all. Its secret lies in its origin: thanks to the Ruggeri Method, a philosophy that encompasses the entire production chain, the wine gains greater structure and complexity. In fact, Cartizze Dry is born after six months of resting on the lees, a period far longer than traditional Prosecco Superiore timelines. The result is a sparkling wine with a balanced character that goes beyond the conventional lightness of Prosecco.
With this vintage, Ruggeri celebrates Cartizze, the Grand Cru of Prosecco Superiore DOCG, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site—a terroir of excellence from which the historic winery’s most refined labels are born.
“An intriguing vintage for a peculiar year,” comments Andrea Canal, Ruggeri’s winemaker. “In 2024, we had a cold and rainy spring followed by a very hot summer. The wines from this vintage showcase a rich varietal bouquet supported by very balanced acidity.”
The Dialogue Between Wine and Pastry by Gianluca Fusto with Ruggeri’s Cartizze Dry Millesimato 2024
For the occasion, renowned pastry chef Gianluca Fusto created a dessert conceived in conversation with Ruggeri’s Cartizze Dry Millesimato 2024. The sparkling wine becomes a vertical impulse, while the dessert becomes a horizontal gesture: together, they create a harmony in which acidity, aromas, and textures reflect one another with mutual respect.
“In Cartizze there is the vibration of glera grapes at their peak; in my creations there is the pursuit of a clean, readable essence, without noise,” explains Fusto. The encounter happens along the aromatic line of raspberry and rose, where the freshness of Ruggeri’s Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze DOCG Dry 2024 brings lift to the creamy component and amplifies the verticality of the fruit. Burnt vanilla closes the circle with a warmth that the sparkling wine dries and elevates, like a final flash of light.
“Ingredients speak when you accompany them, not when you force them. In this dessert, I sought the purity of fruit, the depth of flowers, and the calm of almond. Ruggeri’s Cartizze Dry 2024 illuminates every note without ever overpowering it: it is a dialogue of respect, balance, and truth.”
A toast to the brightest Christmas with Ruggeri, where every glass holds the wisdom of an art that evolves over time without losing its roots. An authentic expression of Italian craftsmanship, created to turn every occasion into a moment of pure celebration.
