Unlike the majority of Cartizze Prosecco, which is made in the ‘Dry’ style – which actually means its sweet (see here for an explanation) – Colesel has decided to create a Brut version, meaning it contains very little residual sugar from the fermentation process.
This means that it’s a little lighter and tighter in style that the more common type of Cartizze, but still contains the area’s typical ripe stone fruit flavours, and delicious creamy textured bubbles.
