Mostly in the area of production.

Not true once again. Wines labelled "Superiore di Cartizze"
come from a subzone of the DOC Conegliano-/Valdobbiadene.
DOC regulations say that Conegliano-/Valdobbiadene tranquillo
and frizzante have an alcohol minimum of 10.5%, spumante of 11%.
Cartizze's minimum is 11% for still and slightly sparkling wines,
11.5% for full sparklers.

Given the premium that is paid for Cartizze spumante, I guess that
in real life well over 99% of Cartizze is, in fact, sparkling.

True.
