Prosecco ‘1868’ Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze NV, Carpenè Malvolti

Carpenè Malvolti, founded in 1868 by Antonio Carpenè, was the first winery to produce a quality Prosecco. A qualified chemist, he was convinced that a wine as good as Champagne could be produced in Italy. He applied his knowledge to the Prosecco grape, (now known as Glera) the majestic variety of the Conegliano and Valdobbiadene zone. With 150 years of history, this is testament to Carpenè Malvolti’s dedication to quality. _x000D_
