Master Gaise, this first hand document immensely helped me to understand the current scope of Prosecco region. I have been to both Douro and Mosel so I could really appreciate your comparison to these regions.

Great post, Tim. We all travel and usaully keep the secrets to ourselves. I was there in 2000 before all the new DOC changes. It was so old, timeless, rustic, and honest. Great wine with history and little appreciation even within the wine trade. I loved the symetrical domed-shaped hills of Cartizzze (with the chalk soil), the real Asiago cheese, and even the still prosecco that is seldom seen, but taken by the ombra in Venice. One winemaker, 90+ years old in perfect health, served us a luncheon. When one of us was about about to drink a galss of water, he said "No water, Prosecco!" and stuck two of his fingers in the person's glass of water, precluding consumption. Nice guy who demonstrated his secrets to old age!

Hi William, great question. Cartizze is about as steep at Erdener Treppchen or Ürziger Würzgarten --and literally hundreds of feet above the valley floor. Not sure how long it would take to climb it would be a complicated process. As for the tranquillo wines, I've never seen any bottlings in the U.S. but will ask.

Awesome, thank you. Knowing you were there and reading the information makes it more like a friend telling a story. Need to head up to San Fran for a visit. I will shoot you an email in the next week or so and find out when you will be home and not traveling.

Tim, many thanks for the article. I am intrigued to know how long it took to get to the top of the Cartizze hill! Also, do you (or anyone, for that matter), know of any of the tranquillo styles available in the U.S.?
