Description
What kind of wine it is
Gabe Alabastro Superiore di Cartizze Brut is a refined sparkling wine, crafted by Gabe from Glera grapes. In the glass, it displays a bright straw yellow colour with greenish highlights and a very fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is rich, with aromas of acacia and wisteria blending with notes of Abate pear, Golden apple, apricot and almond. On the palate, it reveals an elegant and aromatic profile, where softness is balanced by a pleasant freshness. The sip culminates in a long and persistent finish, characterised by the typical and slight bitter note that identifies the region.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine originates in Veneto, within the renowned golden pentagon of Cartizze, a prestigious subzone of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore di Cartizze. The vineyards, situated at two hundred and fifty metres above sea level with excellent southern exposure, grow on yellowish clay soils composed of limestone, sandstone and moraine. The roots penetrate deep until they reach a layer of compact limestone rock, which limits vigour while ensuring a constant water reserve. These unique pedoclimatic conditions give the wine a marked organoleptic complexity, defining its structure and aromatic identity.
How it is produced
The production process begins with white vinification and a gentle pressing of the grapes, followed by static decantation of the must. The primary fermentation is carried out with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature, an essential step to preserve the integrity and purity of the varietal aromas. The prise de mousse takes place according to the Charmat Method, with a secondary fermentation in autoclave lasting about thirty to forty days. Afterwards, the wine matures for three months on the fine lees, enriching its texture and enhancing its gustatory balance.
History and Curiosities
The name Alabastro evokes the elegant pallor of noblewomen of the past and the distinctive limestone rock that characterises the clay soils of Cartizze. Just as this material has always been a symbol of art, the wine embodies the most refined expression of Valdobbiadene DOCG. Founded in 2024 by Gabriella Benedetta Vettoretti, the GABE winery skilfully combines a historic family heritage with exclusive independent selections. From its ten hectares located in the renowned golden pentagon, the company today produces an outstanding range of wines with unrivalled charm.
